Five Little Boys

Five little boys climbed a tree
Perhaps they didn't heed of the banshee
They still had time to flee

She emerged out  the dark with her face full of glee 
With a Panthers agility 
The lads looked at her amicably 
Without realizing the abnormality

She heard a racket and veered back in confusion 
A girl came out a bush and gawked at the illusion 
She wailed at the phenomenon 

The witch lent a smile for she assumed it was her doing 
till she glanced into the girl's eyes 
and realized 
she wasn't looking at her but instead
she was staring behind 

The croon twisted to see
A sight she could never foresee
For the boys were no longer sitting
But  dangling from the tree
