By Chris Rice:
He rode his wagon into town
A gaudy spectacle-
And every grey November brought him there.
Always entertaining,
Prestidigitating,
Pulling rabbits from thin air...
He would wave his magic wand, he would say the magic words,
Workin' up a miracle, puttin' on a show.
Changin' what I thought to be
Unchangeable reality,
Wish I had a magic wand of my own!!
Now 23 Novembers later, the prestidigitator
Still holds a power in my mind.
'Cause I'd like a quick and easy way, to look inside and make a change,
A magic wand would do me fine!!
I would wave my magic wand, I would say the magic words,
Workin' up a miracle, puttin' on a show.
Changin' what I thought to be
Unchangeable reality,
If I had a magic wand of my own-
I would wave it over you, and over me
And over all this crazy world and make it right.
OH, there's so much I'd change if I could take the easy way!!!
I would wave my magic wand, I would say the magic words,
Workin' up a miracle, puttin' on a show.
Changin' what I thought to be
Unchangeable reality,
Wish I had a magic wand of my own!
The only way to really change is simple choices, every day
Obey the Spirit's whisper in your soul.
Without a magic wand He'll work a miracle...
Without a magic wand He'll work a miracle...
Without a magic wand He'll work a miracle!!
I would wave my magic wand, I would say the magic words,
Workin' up a miracle, puttin' on a show.
Changin' what I thought to be
Unchangeable reality,
Wish I had a magic wand of my own!
(Note: I am sure Wings will be extatic over my listening choice during melancholy, and moody moments. I believe that my memory has run away with the last part of the last verse...but it'll do for now!!

You love to post songs or verse, don't you?
I guess they are the easiest to put out, and I have a couple tretises that are in-the-making. It just takes so much more time. %(
Yes! I know what you mean. I do the same thing. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with my blog, so in the mean while I put songs/poems if I'm going to put anything.
By the way, Warbler, I'll probably post sometime agian on my blog, just don't have anything I urgent to post and don't have a lot of time.
Oh, yes, and the above was me, Anna.
Where did you find me from?
where have you been, warbler? you haven't been on mkP in about a million years!
Rachel, exaggeration of any kind is my abhorrence.
Rache- I voluntarily removed myself from mkP. I still encourage others to get on it, though, and still want to go to all the reuinons.
Also...I am glad to have finally found out how long a million years was. (p.s-check the "say something about the next poster" thread)
uh, how about her brother's blog?? you seem to underestimate people's skills on the internet, Jen! :D
interpretation= that was an inside joke about her thinking i can't find something that she found or made online. i do find it. and within about 3 minutes, i'd like to add. :)
Yes, in 3 min. AFTER I told you where to link it from first (her blog)
Also, I know HOW she got to me...I just wondered from WHICH path of the ones I gave her.
oh, that's sad, Jen! I'll have to find some way of communicating with you other than commenting on your blog.
I believe I first came to your blog through Jon's, Warbler.

Nice Anna!!
Rache- how about the little 'e-mail' button underneath eveything I have posted! ;)
I've also not gotten a PM from thine brother when I asked him for thine adress....(I was going to seacretly deliver you something, see!! So if you'll keep it hush-hush I'll await your letter!))
