A magic man
with a cristal ball
shouts from his stand
come one
and come all
a little boy
10 years of age
sees the future
and is amazed
how much for the ball good sir?
its not for sale you little cur
the boy
not used to hearing no
waits out back
for the end of the show
the man packs up
and readies to go
the boy sneaks up
and grabs his target
but for what he gets
he didn't bargain
the man comes over
and with a shout
tells the boy
hes done and out
the man shoots lightning
into the boys eyes
the penalty for theft
is a harsh reprise
now to this day
the boy lives in the dark
sharing a warning
most grave and most stark
