Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #180

Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

Here is our challenge for today  


This photo reminded me of a saying my Mama used weekly. 

Oh, what a tangled web we weave,

when first we practice to deceive.

The title of this article comes from a poem by Sir Walter Scott written in 1808. The full phrase is “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”. It means that when you act dishonestly you are initiating problems, and a domino structure of complications, which will eventually run out of control.
