A Geezers Tale

Wondrous slowly talking creature
with both teeth and marbles falling
How you talk of times and places
with such inconsistency one can only stare

---

Still the stream continues unhinged
did you truly hear god calling?
It sometimes seems a bit far fetched
but it all happens so the creature swear

---

It was at the Somme, it was at Leningrad
wait did you just say Waterloo?
How it once met Chaplin, or was it Hitler
oh the years erase petty detail

---

Yet strongly it holds that it met the King
yes of course the president too
Still the stories told, the stories given
they leave behind a trail

---

For do we not fear a boring story
so painfully mundane it feels a waste
It lived a mortal life with advice to give
still no one lives a fairy tale

---

So as the tales are told, once or twice
a little sugar is added for the taste
A wide-eyed child might eat it all up
just make sure it doesn’t go stale
