A Wizard’s Staff Has a Knob on the End

A Wizard’s Staff

Oh, a wizard’s staff has a knob on the end –

It’s retractable, ooo – and distractible;

It’s emphatical, with me on sabbatical,

Educational, a bit sensational,

very practical – even piratical.

 

A wizard’s staff has a mind of its own –

It’s insistent, ooo – and persistent;

shades to purple, I’m all a’burble.

When it’s frolicsome, quite a conundrum,

not polemical – but alchemical.

 

A wizard’s staff may be rather cocksure

it’s invincible, ooo – but convincible,

For a starry flight on a starry night –

Erratical but all ecstatical –

Pyrotechnics, my magical friend,

will still require a Wizard at the other end.
