Side Affects

Concocting a potion is ever so hairy Just having the notion is possibly scary And then there’s the problem of knowing what’s troubling What mixture of elements has to be cooking To settle the cauldron and keep it all bubbling Tasting the brew and learning to spit Is accomplished in one easy moment One method to try is the rainbow attempt By selecting the colorful spells And mixing a palette ignoring the labels Watching the hues of the steam If it bubbles and spatters In time with your chanting And eye holes appear in the pot Then go to plan B As fast as can be Ignoring those quickening twitches They’re the reason there’s so damn few witches
