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. :)

Mike, you even write about witches and it's romantic! Did she turn into a fairytale princess?
