Notes About The Poem

That's Another Reason I'M Upset

What is it about a Wizard's appearance that gives me pause?  I 
     always find myself guessing about what type of lurid surreptitious 
     act of debauchery is practiced within the confines of such nonsensical
     attire.

     You always seem to run into one of these super naturalists in the dark
     recesses of some ancient dim lit pub swilling grog by candle lite.  
     Come on, would you allow an eighty year old guy with a white beard
     down to his navel, wearing a robe that hasn't seen a dry cleaners in 
     a fortnight, toting a six foot gnarled hard wood staff, into your bar?
     The guy won't even take that floppy wide brimmed cone shaped hat 
     off when he comes inside.

     And another thing, he's always on a quest, never just out for a cold one.
     I don't know, this has just always bothered me a little...

Andrea Dietrich July 31, 2016 at 5:01 PM haha, you are showing your humorous side here, and ME GUSTA MUCHO. Charlie Smith July 31, 2016 at 5:14 PM Hope it gave you a giggle, thanks Andrea...

Timothy Hicks March 30, 2016 at 7:35 PM Very amusing, Charlie .... and on such an off-the-wall topic. Why does Rapunzel always end up having such clean golden hair when it's miles long? No one knows ... but we read 'em to our children nonetheless. You really ought to look up the video Gandalf Intervention on YouTube ... I think you will get a kick out of it. Charlie Smith March 30, 2016 at 7:41 PM Thanks Tim, I'm on my way...

Constance La France March 29, 2016 at 6:34 PM Charlie, your silly muse is on fire, perhaps, maybe the odd fellow was a street person that wandered in ??? Charlie Smith March 29, 2016 at 6:50 PM B/W, what's left without laughter? Thanks for sharing...
