Impatient Witch
IMPATIENT WITCH
A witch who was wicked and mean
Couldn’t wait for the next Halloween
But a Halloween spell
Doesn’t work very well
In June when the trees are still green
In July she tried once again
But got caught in a shower of rain
People laughed in the street
When she said, “Trick or treat”
So that only ended in pain
For two months she stayed out of sight
Determined to get the thing right
Chose not to remember
August or September
And save it for Halloween night
She had lots of time to prepare
Till the night was finally there
With cauldron a-bubble
She stirred up great trouble
Invoking a nationwide scare
