it is true

i saw that it was happening
but it never did take place
and you know that i'm not lying
by the expression on my face

i saw it, but i didn't
and i don't remember well
i think it wasn't yesterday
but one can never tell

i heard another version
tho i saw it with my eyes
no similarity at all
did not give me a surprise

i guess i wasn't watching
when it all transpired right here
i might have heard the sound of it
or else it wasn't clear

you may ask me, you may question me
or put me on the spot
but altho i clearly saw it
did it happen? it did not.
