Ebony Watches Her Make Stew
Mutter mutter mutter. Gutter gutter doo.
Cutter cutter cutter Hutter hutter boo.
Ebony sat staring, could not look away.
Twas a yearly event on Halloween day.
Witch T snorted and cackled and laughed as she dunked.
Stew splashed out as apple heavily landed in totally well plunked.
My best brew ever she bragged with a wink and a whistle.
She tossed in kerosene, fingernails, goat’s milk and a thistle.
Ebony sat mesmerized, watching her friend, the witch.
She moved not a centimeter. Her tail barely gave a twitch.
Witch T threw in mushrooms, the poisonous kind.
Knowing whoever found it would consider it a terrific find.
And now for my sister, she said with a snarl and a laugh.
In went an elongated head of a quite dead giraffe.
A bag of marshmallows and two cups of rancid puppy chow.
She could not stop dancing or adding stupid stuff now.
