The Street Sorcerer
In front of a shop at the corner of the street
A bearded man appeared with his assistant
With meagre belongings and a magic wand
Pleaded with passersby, to spare few seconds.
Then he called a little boy from the crowd
And asked him to sit in front of the basket
Commanded to wish an article he desired
Promised to fulfill his wish in an instant.
The boy, a little vacillating and frightened
Wished for a TV and whiskey out of fun
And the sorcerer moved his magic wand
And lo! The articles appeared from thin air.
He further showed a movie on the TV set
Viewers were aghast with his magic show
The crowd was impressed with his sorcery
Wondered all the while in sheer enjoyment.
The show defied all logic and reasoning
Leaving the spectators totally bewildered
While the crowd still stood there amazed
The sorcerer left quietly with his tiny load.
