A Wizard's Staff has a Knob on the End

What proves a wizard is his staff

Its power, not its length.

It leads him down th' desired path

And gives him all his strength.

Some may be thinner, others short,

And yet more, thick and fat.

But every wizard has a staff

To match his wizard's hat.

A wizard's staff has a knob on the end;

To all its wishes he will tend.

He'll never know a truer friend,

Nor longer limb will e'er extend!

The mightiest of mages

May never crack a laugh.

For he knows well, the ages

Have withered up his staff.

A wizard's staff should not be doused,

To attempt this would be dire

For once a wizard is aroused,

No draught can cool his fire.

A wizard's staff has a knob on the end;

To all its wishes he will tend.

He'll never know a truer friend,

Nor longer limb will e'er extend!

The sight strikes fear in the heart of a wench

So mighty, towering a pose.

For with but a single sorcerous wrench

It can incinerate her clothes.

In such a battle, when unleashed,

It finds its finest hour;

In strength and in endurance feats

It has no equal power.

A wizard's staff has a knob on the end;

To all its wishes he will tend.

He'll never know a truer friend,

Nor longer limb will e'er extend!

The fire that bursts forth from the tip

Of that terrifying protrusion

(Once his might has been let rip)

Creates confusion in its profusion.

A wizard and his staff will never part

The inches do not matter

For they are joined by a single heart

So take your mind out of the gutter!

(Repeat chorus if necessary)
