Here arrives the town crier
With interesting tales to tell
News from near and far
Stories true and false
New and old
The menu list is brought to the table
Before meal starts to enable
Tragedies
Romance
Comedies
To be discussed at length
Some spiced up by the strength
Of a pinch of salt
Praises
Disapproval
Fault
All served to your satisfaction
If you think you can handle the risks
Do come aboard
But get ready for the bills
And stay alert
In case you get stung by the bees
For you can never trust the town crier’s tales.
