Narrative Poem

A show with a magician full of fortune and fame,

with his pet bunny that is more than just tamed,

they came to put a show tonight,

and astonish their audience with laughter and delight,

 

Mr. Bunny has his stomach rumbling right,

As he has had no carrot to bite,

Presto, the magician so great,

Has eaten all that was on his plate,

 

On his face, crumbs Presto wipes,

While Mr. Bunny only has the carrot in sight,

About to get his feed, Bunny comes out of his cage,

But out of time they rush to the stage,

 

Watch the great Presto! His performance is to begin!

But Bunny doesn’t know the carrot is far from him,

The stomach rumbles again, to make Bunny’s actions vile,

Disobedience is not tolerated, as Presto’s pride goes wild,

 

Then begins the struggle, between magician and pet,

The audience oblivious, to the situation on set,

 

The magic hat, entertainments greatest tool,

Was now making, the magician a fool!

But so he thought as laughter filled the lot,

This was a greater performance than they initially sought!

 

After bruised and bristled, Presto had enough

of Mr. Bunny’s consistent bluff,

reaching for Bunny, once and for all

he found himself bound in heights beyond that of tall!

 

Mr. Bunny was victorious! As he walked away,

But Presto’s life was in danger, and this wasn’t okay,

Calm and disgusted, Bunny moved the hat,

So when Presto fell, he wouldn’t go splat,

 

After putting on such a show, and glad to be in one perfect piece,

Presto leaped with joy, as his career is beyond that of ceased,

As with Mr. Bunny, who began walking away,

Presto saw that his heart was led astray,

 

With the signal of a whistle, and revealing the savory carrot,

The fame was now theirs, and they began to share it,

Mr. Bunny now got his game, with the bonus of a brand-new name,

Alec Azam the apprentice and Presto, the magician’s world is theirs’s to  claim,
