It rained that day
On a haven's bay
A soothsayer with cards
Waited on a barren yard
Those questions on his mind
With greed was he blind
He met the sorcerer's eyes
Like fire striking ice
"Oh you boy
What do you wish?
The cards on a deck
Are awaiting your pick
"But wisely choose your pick
And do not frown
As your fortune lay strewn
By the candle wick"
"'Riches' all I want
Of world and wide
As happiness to me
Is what diamonds provide"
"So be it"
said the tarot wizard
"It will rain gold
Instead of hail and cold"
With excitement he cried
Hopped and danced around
Alas what he found
His hopes down profound
Sad it was a dream
A fanciful whim
He rubs his eyes
None hears his utter cries
