Halloween Witch

The witch said she found him so sweet
Then promised to make him complete
Her boast was no trick
As quick as a twick
Proceeded to give him a treat.

I have stayed away from WITCHES until now. Since I already read the poems on either side of this one, at least twice, I had to enjoy my LIMERICK for dessert. Shalom shalom Paul. WRITE on

Ah, if only some candy could make us feel "complete" now as it did when we were children, Paul. Your form and meter are perfect too. Hope you had some fun over Halloween! Hugs, Carolyn
