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.
