The Wand

“The Wand” as read by Warren Adler

We thought you had a wand to wave

And with it, a world to save

Turns out the wand’s a broken lance

Should we give you one more chance?

Too many things have gone wrong

Better try another song

Your time is getting shorter and shorter

To show us you can walk on water

Still, we’re all for one more try

Before we cry

-W.A.
