What’s in a name sighed Magnificent Max…
As he gathered his props and started to pack.
The bunnies revolted, the birds flew away.
Not a whole lot of magic had happened that day.
But descending the ladder as he caught the last bird
“He must be a wizard!…” magic Max overheard.
His dreams of illusion had not slipped away,
To the kids he was magic, that magnificent day!
