Abracadabra, all I need is my magic wand
To take me away from chaos and danger
So that I will no longer need to wander
In search of a new home and a new wife
I will be able to lead a different and better life
Abracadabra, where is my magic wand
I am still leading the life of a vagabond
With my sack of worthless bonds
Like all other aspirants to the world of riches
I fell for Investment Bankers’ sales pitches
Abracadabra, I am still parted from my magic wand
I cannot turn back the clock
There are no more hidden resources to unlock
As my financial status gets weaker
My future really looks bleaker
Abracadabra, now with the new Presidential savior
The financial tricksters will be in the slammer
And the tricked ones like me can hope with a tad of glee
That TARP will bring us financial peace and harmony
Maybe I will soon my house recover
And with it, a new and attentive lover
hope i too have a magical wand of that start..troubles told with humour
My kingdom for a magic wand, No more to be a vagabond. I'd conjour up a cottage where I'd watch the time go by. You'd never hear complaints from me. I'd be as happy as can be, cuz I'd be rich with all the things that money just can't buy.
I love the sarcasm here (or it is irony..for me the difference is always hard to tell) . I think they would prefer just giving us all blindfolds- probably much cheaper than magic wands..(smile)
Loved this one. Has got all the ingredients, the current mess, and liked the way you ended it. This is smart writing, interesting and entertaining. thank you......10+++
This is great Sandra, it would by nice to be able to wave a magic wand to sweep away all of our problems and worries. Excellent write. Best wishes, Andrew
