A magician named Sally, so I hear<\/p>\n
Wanted to make all her bills disappear<\/p>\n
She waved her wand and she chanted<\/p>\n
\u201cPoof,\u201d her wish was granted<\/p>\n
Her debt she no longer would fear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Debt free would be Sally\u2019s new way<\/p>\n
No more struggles on which bills to pay<\/p>\n
She was free as a bird<\/p>\n
It seemed so absurd<\/p>\n
She had it all now, wouldn\u2019t you say?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But Sally hadn\u2019t thought it all through<\/p>\n
Not realizing what her wish would do<\/p>\n
She should have been more specific<\/p>\n
And a bit less prolific<\/p>\n
When it came to which bills she would loose.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though her Visa card balance was nil<\/p>\n
Sadly, so was her great uncle Bill<\/p>\n
Bill Murray, Bill Nye<\/p>\n
Well they all went bye bye<\/p>\n
Now her wish seemed far less of a thrill.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bill Gates and Bill Belichick gone<\/p>\n
No Billy Joel and all of his songs<\/p>\n
What was Sally to do<\/p>\n
Bill of Rights were gone too<\/p>\n
How could one magic trick go so wrong.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sally was determined to alter her plight<\/p>\n
With some magic she could make it all right<\/p>\n
\u201cAbracadabra, alakazam<\/p>\n
Get me out of this jam\u201d<\/p>\n
Sally conjured all day and all night.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sally opened her eyes with a yawn<\/p>\n
She was nervous to face the new dawn<\/p>\n
But she discovered her scheming<\/p>\n
Happened while she was dreaming<\/p>\n
Uncle Bill was out mowing the lawn.<\/p>\n
