Twist the Numbers

Numbers now lie, yes it is true

Numbers never lie, but people do.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Statistically statistics are often misused

Mathematicians given money

and told what the numbers should do.

To interpret as numbers dictate,

A bank balance with a lot of zeroes.

Well paid, soulless think tank heroes.

Raw data, the art of the stratified sample.

Minimum bias, untouched by opinion.

Numbers never lie, if only we’d listen.
