To lye to lie to lay

Is it to lye or to lie or to lay?

"to recline whilst not telling the truth in a prone position?"

The greatest lies 

lie, lye, lay, lay in not telling the truth

but failing to lay at all.

Am I to never lye again,

but would that be a lie?

And not to tell the truth,

also be a lye?

Or a lay?

I must ensure that I would never again 

lie,

swearing the truth; to,

living,

lying

longing,

laying,

lying,

or just - lay; lye; lay; lie...

...why is liing not a word?

That stone clad wall isn't real stone cladding

but the plastic guttering is made from genuine plastic,

unlike your happiness!

The front of that building is just a facade.

Don't you mock my Tudor!

Her tan is real,

she got it from a can, 

but the veneers on her teeth aren't bona fide!

I forgot goldfish have three second memories,

anyway that's a real distortion of the facts!

People saying most of the bodies heat is lost through their heads makes my blood boil!

Those falsehoods he didn't make up seemed legitimate 

isn't a thing that is not what its purported to be; just a sham?

I don't believe you!

Nepoleon was short,

but then everyone was really short in those days,

and bulls aren't colourblind
