That's another sneaky advantage of Figments. If someone catches them in a compromising photo you can just say it was someone else, not your brainchild, and n-one has any room to contradict you.

The Boy On the Fo'c's'le Head


It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That I danced the dance of the handkerchiefs
And drank wine from the resin tree;
Where I learned to breathe on the ocean's floor
And to measure the ocean's miles
And today, I would cast off all that past,
For just one of her rocket smiles.

Oh the soul may recall, and the soul may yearn
And like ancient tomes, grow dead;
But the soul that is wise seeks the bright, bright eyes
And the song of   day ahead.
For the places I was are not there today;
They are gone in the river-whirl --
But the heartsong that sings to the future's hymns
Is the song of a lighthouse girl.
