Truth

Truth or dare she bellows across the living room floor
Truth I say
And we giggle together
Knowing we are bound up in a web of deceit
We check the numbers perfectly
But they never add up
The whole word seems stacked against us at times
All I need is cans and the red bed
And me silly she squeals
Yes Alice always you
You are my thief and truth bearer
There is nothing left to do
Not whilst the cans are gone
And my memory is restored.
