the mentalist

i've got transfixed hallows
up my sleeve,
and a white rabbit in my top hat
and a flabbergasting opulent cape
with this, the secret i drape
before revealing the splendor
of magical light and color

shuffling cards arrange into a tower
the queen of hearts and the king of Flower
the Ace has grace
and the Jack craves power
ace to base
the rest know their place

so now that i have your attention,
ladies and gentlemen,

with one wave of my witching stick,
stars will sparkle of a spectrum delight
to teleport you to an ancestral wich
so bask in radiance and write
in few short words,the existence of us
in ancient ink on the reverse of your ticket
then put in your pocket or purse
for you purchased an eternal verse
climb back in the golden flying machine
reverse incantations
your back where you have been
now clap and leave.

I laughed through this and

I laughed through this and enjoyed it immensely,
what with witching inks and hallows up your sleeve,
haven't the faintest clue as to what that means
but it works as a jolt to the imagination
and sets an absurd scene that is buffoonish
and eerie at the same time,
thoroughly entertaining.
