THE MAGIC MAN
Daddy's Noodlin' Days
While walking in the woods one day,
I chanced upon a deer
Who called me close up to her side
And spoke right in my ear...
She said she'd heard a legend
'Bout a man in a far land
Who'd walk right into rivers
And touch big fish with his hand.
She said the man was magic ~
That fish swam right up to him...
That he charmed the fish with magic words
And cast a spell on them.
She said that in those woods
She was the wisest of the doe,
And she thought she'd ask a human
If this legend could be so.
With large brown eyes she stared at me
And then she moved quite near...
Her velvet ears seemed to prick up
As if straining to hear.
I said I'd heard the legend
And assured her it was right,
That I even knew this Magic Man
As his own daughter might.
My answer must have pleased her
For she quickly turned and fled...
And in a wink I was alone,
Still pondering what she'd said.
I thought my mind was playing tricks,
It all seemed far too queer ~
To take a stroll within the woods
And find a talking deer.
It all sounded so fishy,
Yet I knew it must be true ~
For the Magic Man she spoke about
Was none other than YOU!
