I DIVED INTO THE CAULDRON
She said she was a white witch;
Her spells were all benign.
If I dived into her cauldron,
I’d come out feeling fine.
It was full of magic potions,
Selected with great care,
Guaranteed to benefit
Anyone who’d dare.
She seemed a nice old lady
Who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
So, throwing caution to the wind,
I gave the thing a try.
I dived into the cauldron
And joyfully submerged.
But, alas, I was an ugly frog
When I finally emerged.
Now I live in a smelly pond.
How did it come to this?
If there’s a princess out there,
Please come and give me a kiss.
