Blessed Realms Of Magical Mayhem 4.24.2008 Poem by Margaret Alice

Staring at my book with its enticing
subtitle creating surprise:

The Satanarchaeolidealcohellish
Notion Potion from German: Der
Satanarchäolügenialkohöllische
Wunschpunsch; translated by two
bewitching names: Schwarzbauer
and Takvorian

Beelzebub Preposteror,
a sorcerer extraordinaire, all
of a pickle because no time to
complete his annual share of
villainous deeds; what is a
wicked wizard to do?

Tyrannia Vampirella
makes a fiendish plan to destroy
the world; unless stopped by the
intrepid Mauricio the cat –
creating a tale of magic and mayhem

– while supposed
to translate miserable letters
directed against politicians assuming
they are just waiting for complaints;
can you blame me for taking my mind into
the blessed realms of magical mayhem?
