Tellin' Tails

As Sparkle Lynn played at the playground one day, she heard two girls talking g, Crystal Claire and Jessie Mae.
The tale they were telling, she thought was quite tall, so you know what she did? She told her friend Paul!
Paul thought to himself, 'Boy this story is juicey! I know who would love this,  my good friend Lucy.'
Now Lucy's no stranger to gossip, that's true.
As she listened to Paul, she knew just what she'd do.
She'd text a few friends, really get something going,  not stopping to think of the seed she was sowing.
You see, this tale in the tellin', just grew and grew and every teller tellin' told something new!
Before you know it, what Sparkle Lynn heard, was totally changed, right down to the last word.
The moral to this story is as plain as the nose on my face.
The tellin' of tales, it has its own place.
Between the covers of a book on a shelf, or by a good fire where marsh mellows melt.
Not told behind the back of a friend.
Tales told in this fashion never come to a good end!
