Witch's Song

Pass me the stir-spoon, Sister, quick!
This stew's getting a little  thick.
Push down the devil's claw. Mix in some thyme.
The brew must be ready by dinner-time.


A pinch of this and a pinch of that,
and dont forget to spell the Cat.
Owl sits in the corner with beady eye.
Toss him a mouse as you go by.


While it is brewing we'll sip on some gin,
and call the witches-in-training in.
Thrice round the cauldron, add some eye of newt,
and mind how you circle, or you'll tread on my boot.


Toss in two warty toads and the leg of a frog.
Let's fly round the meadow, skinny-dip in the bog,
count all our warts, multiply by two,
and I will teach a new spell to you.


To draw love, catnip, valerian for sleep.
Drop a marigold bloom in your tea; let it steep.
Calamus root and the knuckle of a frog.
We'll sing in the kitchen and dance with the dog.


Come out, my pretties, to the meadow in the hollow.
Skinny witches first, and the fat ones follow.
We will chant incantations, swoop around on our brooms,
and watch that black cloud cover the moon.


Snakes go hiss and flames they crackle. 
Potions bubble and pop to the witches' cackle.
Toads gather at the pond in our friendly way,
Cause it's always fun on Fireblossom Friday!


Such a fun prompt today, kids, at Real Toads, where the Fireblossom Friday prompt is to write something about the devil, his minions, or witches. I think I had a bit too much fun with this and seem to have the witch's incantation rhythm down just a little too well. But dont be scared. I'm a kind witch!
