Magical Madrigal

I’ve tried to make these verses best,
always at pains to pass the test,
but sometimes I’ve had no real rest
till falling back upon a jest.

Perhaps it be the word falls dumb
upon my ear so often numb,
as if my mind was steeped in rum,
for answers to the prompt don’t come.

And so in situation tragic,
I find myself in climes pelagic,
in deserts without all foragic -
it seems I’ve no ideas on magic.
