THE GREAT VOLTAIRE by JEZ LOWE
Spotlight on The Great Voltaire,
Searchlight, is he really there?
Is it done with juice, is it done with wire,
In league with the devil or a bright spark for hire?
Spotlight on the Great Voltaire.
Straight face for The Great Voltaire,
Head-case, or a real Dan Dare?
Men watch and wonder, they giggle and stammer,
As he throws his voice like you’d throw your hammer,
Straight face for the Great Voltaire.
He’ll turn a bait cabin to the cave of Aladdin,
It’s alchemy,
The first one who laughs gets sawed in half,
But only if a joiner’s free.
Show-time for The Great Voltaire,
There’s a long line when the noon horn blares,
Is he sleight of hand, a trickster, a spinner,
Or slight of head as you eat your dinner?
Show-time for The Great Voltaire.
