Telling Stories Explained

Telling Stories explained


To impart words of wisdom
one would assume you need to be wise,
there's nothing farther from the truth
If skilled at telling lies. 

A story not necessarily true
but believed true by the teller,
convincingly told and carefully sold
can be the next best seller.

So take this with a grain of salt
just make things up along the way
and the more you tell the story
the more the truth will decay.

 
The truth is so objective
everyone makes their own
and what's the real story,
is oftentimes unknown.

Every story can be fiction
if not believed by even one,
for if that one single person,
believes it's overdone
then your factual account or recollection
 to them is not worth the ink in print
and your insistence and conviction
will barely make a dint.

Again, just tell the story
repeat it until you believe it to be true
with careful lies and alibis
your readers will accrue.

Then fiction turns to solid facts
as you entertain with pen in hand
and you're spicing up the story
that started off so bland.
