Hocus Bogus: a Curse That Could Be Worse

HOCUS BOGUS, BOGUS POCUS! A hex on the dryers of you who owe us A pox on your socks never to be found Unwound and pulled down underground I voodoo better than you do, and you'll rue The day you walked my way because I knew If I'm toil and trouble, you're definitely double So bubble bubble grow no more than stubble It might seem weird as something feared But I know you've always wanted a beard! You think I'm too lily livered to deliver? Just wait until I conjure... A WOODEN SLIVER Didn't think this is something you'd fear? You'll think twice when near tweezers disappear! Such sorcery the likes you've never seen An enchantress so mean there's never been My final vengeance enclosed in this vile You cry and I smile, I fly while you're in a pile A potion with eye of storm and tongue of twist And whatever else is on my list, with a flick of the wrist I cast a spell you cannot quell that’s straight from hell You’ll swell as you yell in pain as you fell Unable to imagine such a fate is more than fable As your pinky toe catches the corner of a coffee table! MWA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
