Tall Tales and Short Stories
"It was the best of
lies and it was the worst lies," as the infamous Darles Chickens wrote in
his A Tale of Two Kitties. He indeed
was right. His Late Expectations were heard by many who participated in the "Tax
Romana", a period of heavy taxation during the Emperor Leo Falsetoy's
teetering between Car and Keys. Many
people suffered as there were Sonnet Wars all the time. Great lovers such as
Poemeo and Couplet were forced to commit themselves to suicide because of the
notorious preaching, Literature or Death. The man loved by the world, William,
shakes with fear every times he hears the words, "to write or not to
write." This happened for he had earlier lost a Megabet of an Omlet to the
very sensitive Nathaniel Longhorne who used his Starlit Feather to steal it
secretly. Poor man, let us all wish he should Relax Daily while polishing his
Boots.
After all has been said
about William, it is sad to mention that there is more of this devastation.
Believe it or not, The Lord of the Wings, J.R.R. Molten has taken over the
reign of King Liar sending the world into a state of despair. However, we do
not think that Molten's reign will last very long. Let us hope it doesn't last
so that all of his irrationalities such as stealing chocolates from children
will be wiped away. Protests are beginning against him. Many women like Jane
Satire, Flannery O'Sonnet, Simile Dickinson, and Very Smelly are starting mobs
of raiders called Prankensteins. Molten's aid and chief conspirator John
Blindsack is also very violent. We warn you against his bandit. The Dead Pony
is yet to be freed from The Grates of Trap, which he embedded into the forest.
Hopefully Blindsack will be caught by our hero Ernest Iambway commonly known
for his work, The Mold Man and the Pea, his biography explaining the rescue of
a Pea from the jaws of a molding man. but ever since Iambway's Farewell to
Farms, he has kept himself in exile to avoid being charged for abandoning his
duties of serfdom. Oh, do not fear my fellow citizens, for Iambway is
performing some advances toward our freedom as he is in isolation.
