The Explanation

the sinister resolve of a wicked man's sneer
may enliven even a leprechaun's kiln
to muster legs and flee apanic

a brave, noble, fearless one
will, for whatever instant, watch his heart
be torn asunder

and still find time
to look up at the oppressive demon's eye
while, by the most abysmal , horrific fire ablaze,
a wand will appear to dispel the tiniest incongruity
