The Shaman
I would like to be a Shaman
To be able to confer with spirits
Invisible in the exercise of intent
Sacred objects painted faces
Are only to impress
They need it not
It is all for show.
To appear in two places
Is the mark of a great Shaman
Like Ariel flitting from place to place
Living on sunlight for the most part
A little smoke now and then
of the venerable weed
Eschewing strong drink,
But loves beer.
To be able to confer with spirits
Invisible in the exercise of intent
Sacred objects painted faces
Are only to impress
They need it not
It is all for show.
To appear in two places
Is the mark of a great Shaman
Like Ariel flitting from place to place
Living on sunlight for the most part
A little smoke now and then
of the venerable weed
Eschewing strong drink,
But loves beer.
