Analysis of Abridged Tale
If everyone's life story turned into a book
Everywhere there'd have to be a library
Wouldn't have enough time to look
Through each story of everybody literally
Instead, shorten each story into a poem
Enough words to reflect you or me
Depending how long you lived to show them
All your life was just sheer poetry
