The Age of Lost Wonder

these are not the toys you seek,
Obi Grinchobi said;
the kinderfolk wept,
disappointment ruled the planets,
and longing steered the stars.

There was an old elf at the Pole
whose job was excessively droll
he snoozed all the year
while his slaves made us gear
which he brought in one night at a stroll

cold hands rubbing
every heat source wreathed in wraiths
where did we pick this up

the Wizard's sleeping mind.
