The Witch and the Prince

the old witch, wicked?
had yet to be determined
lured five brave men to

her wedding bed and 
five less brave men down the isle
of divorce. was it 

the long scar down her 
crooked nose, wiry long hair
streaming off of the 

dark mole on her snarled
lower lip? Was it her huge 
hips, nasty morn breath?

we will never know
for now she has found her bliss
the prince placed the kiss
