My Father Wore a Wizard

My father wore a wizard

Every day upon his hat

As off to work he went each day

To his office where he sat

He said the wizard spruced him up

And made him feel ok

As he sought to stay engaged

Throughout his working day

“Find the work that interests you,”

To me, was his advice,

“But if you must work otherwise

Perhaps a wizard will suffice

Though to have a way to pay the bills

Is very far from tragic

We all have need to be inspired

By means, including magic.”
