From Shel Silverstein (1930 –1999), American poet, singer-songwriter, cartoonist, screenwriter, and author of children’s books, Where the Sidewalk Ends: The Poems and Drawings of Shel Silverstein (1974):
Magic
Sandra’s seen a leprechaun,
Eddie touched a troll,
Laurie danced with witches once,
Charlie found some goblins gold.
Donald heard a mermaid sing,
Susy spied an elf,
But all the magic I have known
I’ve had to make myself.
