Magnificent Max
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!

“You talkin’ to me…
You talkin’ to me?
Then who else are you talkin to? ”
When Preston Waddlebottom’s flight was canceled, he took it quite personal. It seems he’s suffering from flightless bird syndrome.
Baby it’s cold outside
