Hello, I am Lois Letchford, author of the book Reversed: A Memoir and a literacy problem solver, sharing to you a week of dragon poems. This week comes from Jack Palutski's Monday's Troll, and the first poem, I Told the Wizard to His Face. I told the wizard to his face, you're just a fraud. A phony, a fake, a sham, a charlatan. Your spells are pure baloney. Your hogwash couldn't fool an unsophisticated child. What do you have to say to that? The wizard merely smiled. You see, you have no answer, I continued, feeling bold. You only use illusion when you turn balloons to gold. In fact, your poor pathetic act is practically a crime. What do you have to say to that? He smiled a second time. I escalated my harangue and blared triumphantly, Your prissy indignation simply can't bamboozle me! The Wizard smiled a wider smile. Piff-puff! Was all he said. Since then I've been but 2 feet tall and have a hamster's head. Thank you. Hit like, hit subscribe and the bell for notifications, and share.
