The Spell

The horrid witch cast her evil spell
 And unleashed the bats from out of hell
 Nightmares replaced those sweet dreams
 The night echoed with people's screams
 The old hag cackled at their plight
 As the fiery bats began to bite
 She waved her wand and their pain doubled
 As her cauldron boiled and bubbled

Sounds like she is doing some kind of Voodoo magic to me. "Nightmares replaced those sweet dreams" Yes, she is casting an evil spell indeed. ~ Brandy
