Flying Off the Handle

Listen to poem:

The witches' ball met with a glitch And tempers were raised to high pitch. For all the brooms flew And nobody knew Just which switch was which witch's switch!

Hi Wendy, You penned a good “ Halloween “ for the contest. The witches voice that you used to narrate the poem made it even better. Your last line was a good tongue twister! Congratulations on your win. It was well deserved . Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis
