I begin the tale
With a breath, I inhale
And cast a spell
Using words that propel
Set you assail
To the place
Where dreams of men dwell
Nightmares efficiently await
To test one’s fate
By how well
You can deal with
A tale that tells itself
Said the storyteller
A bestseller
Is what I had in mind
Ladies and gentlemen
Settled in?
Once upon a time
Is where you’ll find me
La Nouba
