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!

Lady Griselda looked at the date
“Good heavens!” she said
“I’m running quite late!”
“The Coveny Sisters have already started!”
So she packed up her tools
and quickly departed.
And just for good measure she mixed up some dust
Then she sprinkled her broom
Chanting “Salem or bust!”

or the day the snake started wearing glasses….
Edwin banged on the glass and threw rocks at the birds.
He pushed through the crowds to make sure he was first!
“Where does this door go to?” Edwin asked of his Mum.
“You get back here this instant! Leave that door knob alone!”
And then he was gone… As for clues, there weren’t any.
Seems that Edwin that day, banged on one glass too many!
A light bulb moment at 5:00 in the morning… do I get up and draw it right now, or go back to sleep.Well… I didn’t get up, and I didn’t go back to sleep either!
There was no sleeping until Ruby got the new direction she was asking for.
Don’t you hate it… and love it when this happens!!!!

You better watch out… You don’t and you’ll cry
You better not doubt… I’m telling you why…
Santa Flaws is coming to town!
He smells like a fungus. He’s covered with lice.
He spits when he talks… and he’s not very nice.
Santa Flaws is coming to town!
He sneaks in while you’re sleeping
And eats up all the cake
He drinks the beer and kicks the dog
So beware for goodness sake!
You better watch out… You don’t and you’ll cry,
You better not doubt… I’m telling you why… Santa Flaws is coming to town!

The side of the family that no one wants to talks about!
There’s nothing more sneaky than an unclaimed poof!
This is a ditty I wrote some time ago. The illustration that went with it needed a make over though… so here’s the new Fairy Mary!
Ella Rena
Ballerina
Pachyderm Divine!
Come take a chance
And watch her dance
But make sure
You read the sign!

They all seemed very friendly…. so Orin tried his best.
It’s just that he had things to do. It wasn’t time to rest!
The children soon took notice that Father’s not all there.
So they packed away the memories and gave away the chair…
