Electric Broomstick

Electric Broomstick

My 
Mother
Often said
Her other car
Was a new and spiffy electric broom

Whoops! Upside down!  Hold on tight for this flight
And right on track
For quite a
Shocking
Ride!

Hi Joanna! Thank you for your visit and your congratulations. Took a chance on this entry but Halloween always reminds me of my mom's funny saying her love of the celebration. She used to dress up as a cat to give out treats. All the best.
