Absolutely. Medicine is an art not a science and until the computer people / Government realise that we should not be wearing white lab coats we are stuffed. We should really have blck lab coats with silver moons & stars embroidered [silver because that is antibacterial], and a pointy hat. Staffs with knobs on the end are optional. (Chorus.) A wizard's staff has a knob on the end, knob on the end, knob on the end A wizard's staff has a knob on the ennndddd! What he does with it is magic! A wizard's staff has a knob on the end And runes run up the shaft It's long and proud and stiff and loud It's the pride of wizardcraft. (Chorus.) A wizard's staff has a knob on the end Some are made from thinking wood With a sapient pair you'd be out to there And you'd go blind, yes you would. (Chorus.) A wizard's staff has a knob on the end That looks like a silver nut If you start to bleat when he's taken your seat He'll crack it up your butt. (Chorus.) A wizard's staff has a knob on the end And the odd frog knows it's true When your staff has a bend then the spell you send Can fly right back at you. (Chorus.) (Under Construction) A wizard's staff has a knob on the end Most useful if they knew it It's just that fem isn't magical to them So they never ever do it. (Chorus.) (last verse maestro please) A wizard's staff has a knob on the end And you may think it's tragic That no matter how strong or thick or long All he can do with it is magic.
