Magic

abracadabra...............
wand turns into roses..
applause.....................
.
abracadabra.........................
ball turns into pigeon...
applause...................
.
abracadabra................
brings out a rabbit from empty hat..
more applause................
.
the man in tattered robes
bows before the motley crowd.
his son takes the hat around
the crowd is gone.......
.
not a single penny
for his road-side show.
.
papa I'm hungry.....
he digs into his pocket.
nothing comes out..
.
papa give me some bread
sorry son we don't have money today.
then why not say abracadabra,
and take it out from your hat, papa.
.
he stares blankly at his wand.
that is what i was doing since morning.
