Story Time, Please
x
Oof, I’m tired
Aren’t you tired?
If you’re energized, please
Let me know
Maybe chocolate
Inspiration from a movie
Or a book
An entertaining story
From someone who
Tells stories well
x
I like storytelling
I like listening
I like to think of people
Gathered ‘round tended fires
From ancient times
To hear from a bard
(roving poet)
Some other teller
Adding historically to lore
More urgently, to move us
With the tried
Or taking chances
Now

YES! Please! We need the storytellers. The bards. Such an important way wisdom gets passed from one generation to the next. And right now, we need wisdom. Beautifully written. Thank you.
