Hostess Pocus

Oh no, dear Wonder boy

What happened to your wealth?

I walked down your isle today,

And scanned the starving shelves

 

Your "immortal" gold ******* has vanished,

And a famine has wiped out your bread

White powder collects in the corners,

Of a skeleton that's now nearly dead

 

A **** of flower erases your tracks

And just like that,

You're toast

 

--Christian J. Clark
