When just a lad, I thought I was magic, Doing a trick can sometimes be tragic. The bird sang the wrong song, The rabbit was long gone, When they booed, I got very dramatic.

This is a fun limerick, and I think we all get very dramatic, especially when booed.

LOL, hey, I tried at least. Just light poetry to go along with my more serious ones. Thanks for reading and commenting, Miranda. Bill

Thank you, Anne, so many lost everything except their lives. Some lost their loved ones. It's a tragedy. People I know are all alive, some have property damages to deal with. Thanks for your concern and caring, my new friend. Hugs, Bill

Yes, I practiced, but I just wasn't that sure of myself at 14. It was for a talent show at school. I lived through it. No more magic except simple tricks to entertain my grandkids and great nieces and nephews. :-) Thanks for your visits and comments, Darlene. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Thanks for the visit and comments, my dear friend. I'll be visiting your poetry soon and often. It's great to be back writing poetry again after a year off. (a tough year at that) We're fine, the flooding was 150 miles from us but have friends and family that were affected by it. Thans for the light, I can always use it. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
