It Doesn't Matter

and furthermore, I will prove that. . .

The Truth doesn't matter; what is proven doth count.

If you are a trial lawyer the evidence you tell.
If you are a "spin doctor" the pain you dispel.
If you are a great wizard you cast a new spell.

Ah, but if you a politician be,
Why then good sir, you are all Three.
