Chuck is a wizard

A colourful lizard

He can conjure up places

And people and verses

His head has a door

For many a lore

He just flicks a switch

And Shostakovich

Like a magician

With intuition

He mumbles a spell

You never can tell

So Chuck if you will

I’m keen to be still

For just one more poem

Then I can go home.
