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
