Fables
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Fables are stories

Written when I was a kid.

Kept my attention

Scary at times.

 

Some were mini adventures.

Jack and the bean stalk

Was a great story

That had a good ending.

 

There are many more

That will keep kids amused.

They have a general appeal

Throughout the ages.

 Reviews of "Fables"
Reviewed on July 27, 2015
I used to love Aesop's fables. There was always a moral to each one.

Love ya!

Fables, upon close examination, tended to be quite gruesome and diabolical sometimes. But they came from stories passed down through the ages verbally and then were written down and captured for all time by the likes of the Brothers Grimm. Wonderful and scary at the same time. I never recall being scared by any of them. I only seem to fear real danger and I somehow knew the difference. There was no bogeyman in the closet or under my bed. As a boy, I slept well.

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
