Out of the hat & into the frying pan
out of the frying pan into the fire
All contained within the inferno
waiting to unfold, uniform, untold
out of the hat!
ask and you will find a plenty
speak and you will be found
all around the fires, temples
of worth and working underground
in the darkness candles flitter
And children chestnuts roast
& in the heat, adults bicker
about the landing of the toast
Philosophy and religion fold into one another
While toes and fingers curl and twirl in the earth
And the magician shows the children a new worth
out of the hat
