Magic

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

Good Morning Bill. Hello. I turned to this entry at random do to the title. It did not disappoint. It was fun and lighthearted. The poor bird and rabbit. And yes, never worry about the crowd (smile). Have a great morning and day. Blessings always.

Hi Bill I think a great many youngsters try out magic acts in their early teens . Some go on to become great magicians but only a few become awesome poets like you . Hugs and blessings Jennifer

I can just see you trying those magic tricks as a kid!! That's how the great ones get their start anyway.

It was quite the show and tons of fun... just not much magic, but by the time I started teaching school I could kept them laughing or amazed with my jokes and tricks. lol Life has been good, it's just the challenges in mine that made it seem hard. Thanks for the comment my friend, Bill

Hi Bill, Childhood dreams tend to be the theme of our lives because they carry on throughout our lifetime. Although it was rough, did you stick with magic?

I did some magic tricks and card tricks but not real magic on a stage. I was a coach and teacher, and the tricks came in handy on those occasions when we had free time. Thanks for commenting, Alexis. Hugs, Bill
