The Wizard

A capricious old wizard, with fastidious old cat In an idyllic cottage, wears a manta and hat Gulps an insidious potion, of chrysalises crushed With dragon jam, root pulp, and magical dust A rhapsodic litany, of unintelligible, verse In evanescent malaise, conjures his curse (mumbling curse) suoicirpac suoiditsaf cillydi atnam suoidisni sesilasyrhc cidospahr ynatil tnecsenave esialam namsilat serihppas teclud yticilef tnaidar regnibrah arohtelp citamsirahc ytiminauqe nale Waves a talisman of sapphires, afixed to his staff Emits dulcet humming, suddenly he laughs Starts spinning midair, in felicity In a radiant flash, a harbinger is seen A chimera where fire breathing dragons are lore And a plethora, of broom riding witches no more The charismatic old soothsayer floats to his feet In exhausted equanimity drifts off to sleep The elan harbinger visits his dream Reassuring the old man of all he had seen words are spelled backwards in the chant.
