I Kissed A Witch

I kissed a witch one Hallow’s eve
                        I then intended just to leave
The party hadn’t fit my bill
                  And yet I stayed against my will

The costumes ran from fun to fright
                   An eerie green infused the light
When I walked in and saw her face
                         I fantasized of her embrace

I had not costumed for the rave
               Perhaps, I’m simply not that brave
So I wore black and so it seemed
       That struck her fancy, her eyes beamed

I kissed a witch and now I know
                She was no sham, no bogus show
With one kiss, I was swept away
                      I knew I’d never felt that way

So when you wander in the night
               On Halloween, now you just might
Enjoy my fate, so be aware
                      Of witches’ kisses, if you dare

This extra terrestrial romance between you and the witch on Halloween, I greatly enjoyed. Your warning not to fall into her spell is taken heed of. On the night of Halloween we shall be careful not to wear black. Have a great week ahead, dear Mike.

Halloween is a much practiced and enjoyed night in America. It seems that much fun is experienced and wish we would celebrate it worldwide, Including South Africa, although many countries do I know. GREAT WRITE, glad she didn't turn you into a toad or mouse, guess it was the black outfit! Blessings, Jennifer.

One must think twice before kissing a witch. At least in bewitched, she was cute. :)
