The Best Bard Behind Bars (a spell)
by Nate A. Lindell

I was the best bard behind bars,
Where I learned to whistle such a sweet tine,
That I could melt the coldest heart
Even made the warden's wife swoon!

Yes, my verses are
So magically delicious
They called a genie from afar
And made him grant four wishes!

The first three I wasted on treats
With the fourth I wished a guard
T' facilitate my release;
That's how I became
The best bard who is free!
