The Old Man and the Wizard

.


An old man had a wish
to turn back the hour
so he went to a wizard
who had this power.

"Please help," he pleaded.
"I have nothing to give you
but I do wish to be young,
to live through and through."

"I ask for your charity,
to perform a small deed."
The wizard stared but
surprisingly agreed.

"I will do this," he said.
"Less greedy I have been.
When you wake tomorrow
you will be young again."

The old man went home.

After about a month,
he lied in his bed,
still old as an oak.
"That asshole," he said.

Sounds like most of what free enterprise has become. Cyber-ghosts Cloistered in Falsehood. Been there done that. A write that hits the nail on the head. Good one!
