Twisting Facts




Start to tell facts with a story
any time needed is long
but telling just ordinary facts
time needed is short but all wrong.

Facts don’t excite
and are dusty and plain
Story paints pictures
of mountains and plains.

To communicate details
may need a quick list
but to communicate heart,
story brings facts a new twist.

“The computer can’t tell you the emotional story. It can give you 
the exact mathematical design, but what’s missing is the eyebrows.”
~ Frank Zappa
