I'm bad with titles

By devilsrighthand

He summoned the wizard with the leg of a lizard and a small pile of salt. 

"I wish to lie, at the edge of the world."
And the wizard said "Be careful, you could die!"

So off he ran; he skipped, he swam, right to the edge of the earth.

Once he was there, he set up his chair; smiling with glee, he sipped at his tea.

"I've done it," he thought, as he had brought his entire dining set to the end.

But with a loud "SWOOSH", he felt a strong push, and was knocked right out of his seat!

Down from the sky came a fearsome guy with big black wings for arms.

"Now that I'm here, you really mustn't fear, as I'm going to take you home."

Kicking and struggling, the man's rage was bubbling, as he was lifted off into the air.

"Let me down, you dirty dark clown, before I start to beat you!"

"Don't be daft!" The devil just laughed, and kept on floating higher.

The man started to cry as he burst into fire, singeing the devil's tail. 

The man was then dropped, and down there he plopped into the churning sea.

"Now I'm sure to die. The wizard didn't lie!" He cried as he was pulled to the depths.

He couldn't feel the freezing cold water. "This can't be real!" he thought.

Waking in sweat, he was still in debt, and realised it was all a dream. 

Now, what you can take
from this mysterious fake 
is that life is full of surprises.
