Spellbound

Once upon a time in a land far away
Lived a fair maiden who could cast spells
When the people heard of this girl gone astray
They decided to throw her in the well

So they plotted and planned
To capture her next day before noon
they wanted all such activities banned
As restless dogs howled at the moon

Then they waited by her house near the bog
All the villagers brought their snarling dogs
But the fair maiden cast her spells  through the fog
Now the whole town is full of frogs
