POEM: The Freedom Writer And The Dark Wizard
This was written to the art below, one of three by M.C. Escher which were featured on the CPC Simple Sunday picture challenge this week.
THE FREEDOM WRITER AND THE DARK WIZARD
He was a great writer on freedom and such.
But he ran afoul of a Dark Wizard
who wanted to rule all completely,
including even each desert lizard.
The Dark Wizard thought it cleverly ironic
that he who saw through all of his dimensions
should be reduced to two himself.
So he cast a spell with evil intentions.
The writer became a single sheet of paper.
In that state he could no longer explain
that the emperor had no clothes.
No more could his pen sing liberty’s refrain.
But interceding on the writer’s behalf
was a Light Wizard named J.J. Teaparty.
J.J. cast a counterspell of his own,
providing the writer with an opportunity.
He was given the power to redraw his hands
which would then rerender him in 3-D.
He quickly commenced to do just that.
A few more curves and he would be freed!
Poof! His full dimensions were restored!
Soon he was writing once again!
The Dark Wizard’s power was taken from him,
no more to torment the free lives of men!
