I DON'T BELIEVE IN MAGIC...

I Don’t Believe In Magic

By Duncan MacKellar

I don’t believe in magic,

Or superstitious tales,

Or witches spells and potions

Made from newts and snails.

I don’t have time for werewolves,

Or ghostly apparitions,

Spirits, ghouls and warlocks,

Or spooky premonitions.

Goblins, elves and angry trolls,

Dragons spitting fire,

Mere fables and make-believe,

Cloaked in mist and mire.

Mysteries of the occult,

Are easy to resist.

I’m not afraid of monsters,

That really don’t exist.

I’ve never seen a poltergeist,

Or proof of any haunting.

I’m not afraid of darkness,

While others find it daunting.

There is but one bewilderment,

From which I seek protection.

I’ve yet to find a mirror that will

Cast my own reflection.
