“See the statue here …?”
The step-on guide drones;
Way she mouths it,
It’s not a question
“One statue, three lies here,”
She isn’t speaking
So much as reading a script.
“First off, he didn’t found the university.
Second off, he wasn’t born
On the date carved
Below the statue;
Thirdly he didn’t look that way,
Fact is nobody knows
What he looked like …
As model for the carving they just
Picked a good lookin’ student”
She was at the head of
Our party for three hours.
I heard every word …
But that’s all
I can recall:
One statue, three lies.
