HE LIKES TO LIE

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page labeled as page 154. The original text of the page is predominantly collaged over with images of wallpaper print, a statue in the center of wreckage, and a woman whispering to a man. The man's eyes have been cut out to reveal a phrase from the original page reading: "He likes to lie". Select words, phrases, and paragraphs from the original page have been left uncovered to form a new poetic message against the collaged background.

By Unknown

HE LIKES TO LIE

He likes to lie

you offer him cream then he sniffs and sneers,
For he only likes what he finds for himself;
So you’ll catch him in it right up to the ears,
If you put it away on the larder shelf.
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing,

there’s nothing he enjoys like a

need

there’s no doing anything about
