Telling tales with R. Noname

Tell me a little tale
That’s locked inside my head
But don’t forget to knock
Or ring the bell instead

A tiny little creature comes out
With an old peace of parchment
He asked what we pleased
I wasn’t sure what he meant

I would like to know the future
Said the unknowing thing
Unknowing as he was
He announced himself as king

Then his brother came along
And stood by his side
I already know the future
He said, loud and pride

A third one came along
And asked about the tale
It was the creature’s task
And so he will not fail

Everyone gathered around
A few minutes well spent
Not a word, and not a sound
Until the very end
