To ensure her survival for another day
Scheherazade had to spin a ‘ripping yarn’
with a cliff-hanger ending
again, and again, and again,
to keep her murderous husband
from chopping off her head.

creates ‘wondrous stories’
that captivate, titillate, entrance,
convince and hypnotise us
into believing that our fable
could be told a thousand and one times,
over many lifetimes and we
keep coming back for more . . .
