Sounds Like: Exquisite lies from the lips of decadent changelings- rendered in noir drenched celluloid; distilled through miasmic aeons of folly... decanted into bejewled silver gramophone horn (forged at plato's mythical fire) served at the table of Charles Fort with a good cigar; left untouched, filched from the trash bin by Anubis (that pesky god-hound)- dragged back to his' celestial kennel; disregarded in favour of a good gnaw at Imhotep's metacarpal ... fossilised, trawled from the sludge of capricious seabeds by transdimensional beings and worn as a rather fetching hat.
