Wagging My Tale

I tried to write a story down,

I wrote it at the table.

And it was just so fabulous

That it must be a fable.

I sat back down to write again

And added to the story

A little alligator guy—

Now it’s an allegory.

I hope that he’ll be nice to me,

I hope he’ll be my friend.

But if he bites my leg off

I will call it a leg-end.
