Charming Solutions

A warlock comes up with five magic spells.

From buying cars to being crass,
some things a warlock can’t let pass.
Five spells to lessen daily woes,
the banes of life, and so it goes:

Shakin’, bakin’, lizard’s eye,
if auto salesmen have to lie
to customers, be friend or foe,
each lie will cause the nose to grow.

Sunlight, moonlight, distant star,
if honking goose flies o’er the car
when moving out or geared in park,
that drop of poop shall miss the mark.

Duster, cluster, wizard’s wand,
should toilet paper all be gone
when shopping at the Dollar store,
with blink of eye, White Cloud and more.

Ringing skull and twisted nerve,
if big sedan comes ‘round the curve
with music loud to give you fits,
their speakers shall go on the fritz.

Aching eardrums, hammer bone,
if someone dominates the phone
with selfish yakking their own style,
then laryngitis…for a while.
