The Wisdom of a Mage

I have been searching now for a year.
News of a new job I do not hear.
Is it here or is it there.
I have been looking everywhere.

Why has the time passed us by.
It seems like days have turned to nigh.
I’ve lost all hope in flying high.
For the time has quickly passed us by.

For all things new I do await.
But alas I doubt my destined fate.
The success I sought once is now gone.
And now all I seek

Is a stinkin house of my own man!
Is it SO much to ask?
