If I were not a wizard,
With craft unkind and keen,
You wouldn't have to worry
That you might wake up green.
I couldn't, with no fanfare,
And a minimum of fuss,
Transform you into butter
Or a hippopotamus
If I were not a wizard,
Unwa veringly weird,
You'd not have sprouted antlers
And a fifty-foot-long beard.
I'd lack the talent to transmute
Your breakfast into leaves,
And there would be no butterflies
Residing in your sleeve.
You'd find no fish and melons
Perched atop your feathered head,
Your ears would not b fashioned
Out of jam and gingerbread.
I'd never haved transmogrified
Your nose into yam,
If I were not a wizard-
But then again...I am!

- Aww! I love this poem! I thought it was so cute. It's so visual and playful it makes me wish I was a wizard.
