“A wizard am I, whom many dread,
With power like a God.
So come with me to yonder bed,
And see my mighty rod.”

“doctors have come from distant cities
just to see me
stand over my bed
disbelieving what they're seeing
they say I must be one of the wonders
of god's own creation
and as far as they can see they can offer
no explanation”
