Story Telling

The stories you tell...

we all find out
some good some bad
some fiction some fact
can harbor a frown
dragging you down
bring on a smile

The stories you tell...

embellish the words
throw in some curves
out of left field
some false and some real
pour out suspense
while riding the fence
a little do it yourself

The stories you tell...

lift to the heights 
with truth and lies
stooping quite low
as if we don't know
some old some new
all done on cue
the raising of doubts

In the stories you tell...
