Lizard Dreams
Deep within the Pelagir hills, where the land is thick with magic
There lived a lizard named Gervaise whose life was rather tragic
For he had kindness, wit, and speech, and he longed to be a Wizard
But who would ever think to teach high magic to a lizard?
So poor Gervaise would sit and dream, or sigh there sadly ruing
The Fate that kept him ever from the good he could be doing
One day as he sat dreaming there all in the forest sunning
He heard the noise of horse and hound and sounds of two feet running
A human stumbled into his glade, a human worn and weary
Dressed in the shreds of a Wizards robe his eyes past hope and dreary
The Magic of his birthplace gave Gervaise the gift of speaking
So he hesitated not at all, but ran to the human squeaking
"Hide Human Hide! Hide in my tree" He danced and pointed madly
The Wizard stared, the Wizard gasped, and hid himself right gladly
Gervaise laid down at once in the sun until the hunt came nigh him
And like a simple lizard fled as panic seemed to try him
He glowered in his hollow tree and when they came to near him
He bit the dogs upon the nose until they learned to fear him
"Damn that Wizard" the hunter snarled "He slipped our tracking neatly
the hounds have clearly been misled." "They've lost the trail completely."
He whipped the dogs away from the tree and sent them homeward running
Never guessing he'd been tricked by a clever lizards cunning
The Wizard out of hiding crept, saying "Much thanks i accord you! Is
there some gift within my power with which i can reward you?"
"I want to be a man like you!" Gervaise cried out unthinking
"A Wizard or a man?" replied the mage who stood unblinking
"For i can grant you only one the form of man or power"
"Whichever one choose swiftly, I must leave within the hour"
Gervaise thought quickly who would except a mage who was a lizard
but still he knew his dream had come true he chose to be a Wizard
Now in the counsels of the wise there sits a welcome stranger
His word is sought by high and low when there is need or danger
He gives his help to all in need and pledges to defend them
And every helpless creature knows he lives but to defend them
Now no one cares what form he wears human, man, or lizard
Beloved by all both great and small is Gervaise the Lizard Wizard
