There once was a charm,
found on a farm,
by a lad named Paddy O'Shay.

The Charm was a locket,
Paddy put in his pocket,
to keep the gremlins a bay.

Now Paddy was braggin,
cause his pocket was saggin,
as merrily he went on his way.

Yes Paddy was crowin,
as on his way he was goin,
till he heard somebody say.

"I think that's my locket,
you've got in your pocket,
this must be me lucky day!

I'm just an old man,
please place it in my hand,
and hear what I have to say.

As your reward,
though I can't afford,
I'll give you this basket of beans."

But Paddy got cross,
He said, "It's your loss!
Now I'm the man of means!"

But the old man was a wizard,
now Paddy's a lizard!
Anybody care for some beans?

For Enchantress!
