Tell a tale
Spin a yarn
There's a "like new"
Knucklehead
in some old lady's barn.

Everybody
loves a fable
King Arthur
and King Arthur's table

Boogiemen and
old tree trolls
Holy Grails
and grassy knolls

Easy credit
Secure stocks
Fool proof plans
Pandora's box

Moon rovers
and Dillinger's rod
Forty acres and
wars with God

Wooden teeth
and a cherry tree
Independence
and security

Adolph Hitler,
in the Bahamas
John Henry and
Barack Obama

Rock and Roll
a Communist attack
Rainbow gold
and stimulus packs

Shooting star wishes
and fishes you've caught
Runaway dishes and
what Mayans thought

Stretch a story
Spread the word
A fact's a fact
the more it's heard

...once had a boss who told me if I hadn't heard a rumor by 9:00 a.m., I'd better start one.  

Life is never silent, is it, in all its facades?  You set my mind spinning, Uriah, in the scope of your words.

A thousand and one nights, christmas trees and fairy lights. There's a good bottle of whiskey-talk in this little nugget.
