[as quoted in the Boy Scout Handbook]

I am the Wizard. This world is mine.
I speak. It's done. My realm is fine.

I say angry, or I say glad.

It's not graffiti after all.

This world's my joy. This mouth's my toy.
Reborn -I'm a brand new girl or boy.
I choose. I speak. My will is done.
Come join. Come play. This can be fun.
