To visit the Wizard

We’re off to visit the wizard,

the wizard so wise that he knows

just what to do next

if ever you’re hexed

and the best way to clean between toes.

This wizard does not use a blizzard –

no blizzard, no twister, no snows.

No silly pretext.

No need to be vexed.

Nothing that you might suppose.

This wizard is well worth a visit.

To get there, as everyone knows,

you don’t need a text

that might leave you perplexed.

You’re fine if you follow your nose.
