Notes About The Poem

The Halloween Broom

There once was a special broom
It was fast and named the Zoom
Taken by a witch
Then left in a ditch
She broke wind and went kaboom

So glad to hear your wife's negative. Main tension over. In India they opened school in one state, not a single kid went. Take care, enjoy your day. Rama

Read your kid's are down with covid in the comments section of your Trump Limerick. I could understand your concern and worry. Glad to hear that all is well with you and your family. Take care, warm regards Rama

Fast brooms don't have exhaust pipes lol. It would just slow them down. Thanks Jenna!
