The Ol' Story Teller
“Tell me a story,”
The ol' story teller said.
“Fill it with glory
Through which I can be led.”
“Tell me a journey,”
The ol' story teller asked.
“Where do they start firstly?
Which villain is masked?”
“Tell me a quest,”
The ol' story teller encouraged.
“What experience attested?
What fears acknowledged?”
“I’ll tell you a story,”
I did so reply.
“I’ll fill it with glory
Such that none can deny.”
“I’ll tell you a journey,”
I did so say.
“With a villain so thorny,
Only One can slay.”
“I’ll tell you a quest,”
I did so tell.
“of amazing love impress
Or so I will foretell.”
“But be very careful,”
I did so warn.
“This story is wonder-filled
The listener may be reborn.”
