Guardians Of Atlanta 33
(The Man Behind The Magic)

After the tantalizing magic show,
Cyrus followed Bobby through the crowds.
He went around a corner, and when Cyrus came around-
He looked puffed up, strong, and proud.

He said: “What a show, wasn’t it, Ma’am? 
I’m a master of my art.”

Cyrus: “Yes, you are, Bobby Carter.
 I don’t even know where to start.”

Bobby: “Start by not following me anymore.
My show is over. Take a hike, stop being a bore.”

Who’s that man behind the magic?
What is his game?
Is it fun or is he up to something much more grave?

Cyrus: “What’s your connection to Stone Mountain?”

Bobby: “Oh, that chunk of rock?
I have no connection; there or here.
The road is my home, and I am done with talk.”

Cyrus: “Wait!”

Bobby: “I’m sorry, but all questions must be submitted in writing.
However, the president of this carnival will not be fighting.
Go talk to James Rigger, he’ll tell you-
The information you need. Now go! Shoo!”

Cyrus walked off, more suspicious of Bobby than ever before.

Who’s that man behind the magic? 
What is his game?
Is it fun or is he up to something much more grave?
