"Another one" he cried
"Give us your laughter boy,
Give us your tears!
We are hungry for your stories
And thirsty for your tales"
The King shouted
And the Knights echoed his call
And the Queen smiled at her husband
And the Ladies in waiting smiled at their Queen
And the court swelled with applause
And the floor shook with their stomps
So the boy went on
Telling yarns of lands afar
Weaving wonders all had never heard
And he went on until the king was out of breath
And they slept
And the knights and ladies had found other places to be
None of them knew
That not a single thing they'd heard
Was true
