Chuck is a Poet

Chuck is a wizard
Chromatic lizard
He conjures up places
And people and verses

His head has a door
For many a lore
With a flick of a switch
And Shostakovich

Like a magician
Secret Tactician
When he mumbles a spell
Maurice Joseph Ravel

So Chuck if you will
I’m keen to be still
To hear just one more poem
Then my heart can fly home.
