CHRONIC CONFABULATION

This"compulsion to narrate"is defense against poor scripts-
an improvisation driven by wit/to make dull life a dance
Hyperbole his parents,metaphor a friend
one may utilize all literary devices /until the story ends
Politicians are masters-and paedophile priests
Think how much we adore actors and comedians!
Storytellers have embroidered for as long as there was Art
every mischievous schoolchild lies to learn their part
And when you are confronted by an acronym(NSA,FBI,IRS,TSA)
what else can innocence do but add to simple truths?
Examples in the media -from Stock Market to prisoners
a simple leap of faith to make the narrative sweeter
We all have a taste of what it is to dissemble
Art comes from many sources-just add punch lines-and assemble
And yes-you can do this @home/for home is where the art is
Domestic lying is the basis for all life experience!
So next time you make up stories you want others to believe
Just remember -art is life-you must practice to conceive!
