ABRACADABRA

ABRACADABRA

In magic, was this exclamation really used
Perhaps it’s another myth to colour the tale
All those djinns in bottles, all the magic carpets
A time when most believers ended up confused
Thinking something unnatural is going on
Yet showtime audiences today are amused
Magicians are but entertainers as you know
Yet of trickery and cheating, few are accused
But the use of witchcraft is still beyond the pale
All the magic carpets, all those djinns in bottles
Perhaps that book of secrets has to be perused
