Letting Go of the Wrong Broom
The day my broom bopped me on the head
Was the day I left it in a ditch in my homestead.
Some idiot came by and scooped it up as treasure.
I ran out there and threw in a mop for good measure.
The mop got dug out too, for the witch was in her cups.
She thought she had some buried treasure; her name was Mrs. Hups.
I had seen her before; she is a hoarder on the block.
The rats run out of her house when she leaves her door unlocked.
Where do you think she’ll put it? A neighbor asked me.
You know where it could go? I suggested with a bit of glee.
The next thing I knew she’d used the broom as a wand.
I was ribbet-ing now, sitting in a filthy pond.
