Did man create spider?
Or did spider create man?
The answer is
Whatever you want it to be
Anansi held my hand through it all
Eight legs enraptured me in story
Took hold of this little otter child
And left him with much to ponder
When is a raven
Like a writing desk?
The answer is
A little bit of both honestly
That last line may seem like
Pure nonsense, and well, true
But that makes it no different
From all the tales told today
Nothing wrong with that
Man is magical in how he takes
Jabberwocky jibberish and
weaves a tapestry out of it
Death, logic, overwhelming odds
Is there anything we won’t defy?
The answer is
It’s right there in front of you.
From Gilgamesh to Gargamel
Campfire gatherings to open mic cafes
There will always be new songs sung
I for one, am glad that no one ever shuts up
Did man create story?
Or did story create man?
The answer is
Whoever tells it next
