this is

Angels have wings
Mermaids have tails
men and sailors have their own 
stories to tell
people imagine a story that will sell
not just a tale
but the thing that rings the bell
the ghost of the past
and UFO's have something in common 
People rarely see them
but they're there quite often
Blurry photos and ego's telling lies  
Circle around like misquotes and flies     
the birthplace of myths and legends
The story tellers before radio and television
The mind and the mouth
put on a disguise
Some to teach wisdom
others to just surprise

Awesome poem on the origins and motivations for myths and legends. As for me, I saw a Romulan at Walmart the other day, but I'm keeping it to myself for now...
