Face To Face With Witch Ladra's Closet
Witch Ladra stuplified some but she petrified me.
Luring me in with green molasses candy.
Locked me in a cupboard, threw away the key.
My only friend, her pet monkey named Three.
Three told me stories of Ladra’s family tree.
I shared my candy and he gave me brandy.
They’d apparently came from the China Sea.
Bringing along a dead man’s bandaged knee.
Within months another prisoner be.
Names didn’t matter. She said call me Cee Cee.
Next the witch shoved in a huge maple tree.
With gorgeous bark that ended in a Vee.
Became a jolly bunch, sing-along and randy.
Causing the witch some melancholy.
She ran off finally but left me the key.
We now party hardy with a dead man’s bandaged knee.
