When healing with your magic, be precise
Or consequential damage may ensue
I offer you some excellent advice:
Stay back, so you can say it wasn’t you
Incantatory weather spells are fine
A little hot, or cold, and who would care?
But when you try to fix a broken spine
Employ the charm of ‘I was never there’
Unless you prime your powers to a ‘T’
It’s always advantageous to assume
A wizard’s neurosurgery degree
Will send a stream of patients to the tomb
Remember: ‘Not my magic. Not my mess.’
The motto of the modern NHS
