Fictional Story

 

Tell me a story

make one up,

make me drink

from your story-filled cup

make me laugh

and make me cry

make me a character

and make me die

and make me suddenly

spring back to life

and make me start living with a beautiful wife,

then sit us both down

and tell us straight

the truths of life

that make living great,

and tell us what

we can expect

when our lives are expiring

and our bodies wrecked,

tell us our kids

will live in this world,

tell us that bread crusts

will still make hair curled

tell us the future

will learn from us now -

that the world's not as simple

as Fresian cows!
