which is the witch?

Who’s Pointy Black Hat is That?


Cauldrons and broomsticks, you may think ick
but there are those who do not think gross
they have skin of green and remain unseen
until all Hollows eve it is then you will see
they are not make-believe

It is said, in the stories that are told that witches never grow old.
they brew cauldrons with bubbles which may cause troubles
since a dash of hemlock will cause a shock and eye of newt
should never be dilute unless cooked with mandrake root.

it is also boldly told that witches wear a pointy black hat.
and that’s a that!
but what they forget to say is that they will cast away without dismay
with their magic stick which only needs a flick

if you are near a witch you may overhear them rant, but what they really
do is chant. and with a short spell they can always tell if a toad is a
bombshell if they are not compelled to kiss-and-tell.

they also have a broomstick which is quick and can make you airsick
as they travel the sky flying high, it is then they espy as they pass the moon by.

now you know it to be true and it is not a roose. so you should look for clues this way
you will know who’s who. But there are times when they play tricks on our minds
so they can be hard to find.

although, there is a way to surely say if a witch has pulled a switch. It is when they
are near, you may naturally feel fear, and this witch will cause you to twitch
but do not flinch or it will bewitch you in a stitch.
