The Sad Tale of a Failed Witch (part 1)
THE SAD TALE OF THE FAILED WITCHPart One
‘Twas All Hallows Eve –
so I took out my witches hat,
polished up the broomstick
and stuck “L” plates on the cat.
Put the cauldron on the gas stove
and mixed up a magick brew,
guaranteed to make one fly
from here to Timbuktu !
At least – that is what the book said
but, perhaps, I mixed it wrong –
for the flight that I experienced
was nowhere near so long.
From rooftop down to pavement
with a loud almighty SPLAT !
It splintered half the broomstick
and mortified the cat –
he stalked off in a huff,
spitting insults as he went –
and left me with my broken besom
and my pointed hat all bent !
Perhaps next Hallows Eve
I’ll try something else instead –
like locking all the doors
and going straight to bed !
