Charming She Was

Blind in one eye with the voice of a shrew Her chin came to a point, moles wildly grew From her cheeks in a manner grotesquely askew Charming she was; you just had to view Her misshapen fingers, all gnarly and bony Her neck with its dirt-covered mane, like a pony And her breath, ever reeking of stale macaroni Charming she was; you might say she was toney Her garb so macabre that it gave me a fright Her eyes bolts of lightning, turning grown men white Of a sudden, mad Zelda shot me a sensuous look So I popped the big question; "Hey, witch, can you cook?" With a sneer and a snarl, she replied in this way: "Try this brew from my cauldron; it'll make your day." The taste was a bit strange; I didn't know what to say Then I looked in the mirror ~ It had curled my toupee

Susan, the timing of your warm, encouraging words is more welcome than you can possibly know. Suffice it to say that you have given me precisely the lift that I needed. I thank you from the bottom of whatever heart I possess. Blessings and Joy, Gershon
