A whale of a tale/lie

by 3purplepebbles

If I told you that in the closet lived a whale Would you say that was a lie or tale? If you believed it And afterwards you feel naive then It's a lie because it was decieving But if we both know it's not true And I am amused and so are you Then we could call it a tale And together fantasize about the closet whale
