Do you remember the tales told to you as a child by your elders? Perhaps fables or mythology native to your region or country of origin? Take fragments of those stories to incorporate into an updated or new story (or poem!) of your own. Tag me, if you wish. #clevermonkeytales

Polis

If I had to guess

what would

come to pass

if I turned to evil,

what was good

and what was not,

I could always 

call on Granny Watt.

She's the one

who taught us lots

about life and how

we should never

worship gelt 

scant the faeries

scheme or plot

steal her bus fare,

and scrump mint bliss

if we didn't want

our collars felt

by the awesome

Polis.
