recorded reading
A magician dwelt in a fabulous house,
And his name was Nicholas Sango.
He was better known by his working name -
The most celebrated Great Ragando.
Such clever magicians are much admired;
His name was on every billboard.
The money he made was noted by all -
And his gold car just wasn't ignored.
Away from the stage, he worked at his books,
For spells that would bring him more gold.
In one of the books was a wonderful spell,
"It’s tricky, but works", he was told.
"I’ve all that I need and I’m ready to go,
I must just put my mind on the job."
The cauldron was ready and waiting for him,
And his heart was beginning to throb.
A rumble like thunder, a flash and a bang -
A most frightening thing to behold -
For Nicholas Sango just started to shrink -
His body encased in his gold.
News soon went around: "Great Ragando has gone -
And a gold doll has been found", we were told.
Now Nicholas Sango can’t cast any spells
And he certainly can’t make any gold.
