Angela Topping - The New Generation

The New Generation

Wizards look like everyday folk
despite what you’ve been told.
We don’t have long white whiskers
nor are we very old.

We don’t go round in trailing robes
except on special days;
those pointed hats are stylish
but out of the usual way.

We don’t wear silver stars and moons
embroidered on our clothes;
we never wear those pointy shoes
they’re murder on the toes.

I like to wear my Levi’s,
roar up and down the street
on my Ducatti motorbike,
Doc Martens on my feet.

I’m part of a new generation
of wizard girls, we’re cool!
No one dares to mess with me
Female wizards rule!
