...as payday approaches.

When an infant is capable of one lie

the infant is capable of all lies.

If a child is lying in one case

then the child will lie in many cases.

When a teen lies while looking you in the eye

the distinction between true and false

has long been forgotten and lost.

When the young man opens his mouth to lie

 He is doing what comes naturally.

from many years of practice

When the old man lies 

he emits the stench of death

he projects morbid decay

as payday approaches.
