Notes About The Poem

Kind-a tugs at yer heart strings, don't it.

The Witch and the Womanizer

It seems head witch Della had a yen for a fella,
Who thought of himself as a catch.
He thought to woo her and then just to lose her,
But in Della he'd met his match.

Although she was smitten she's no new born kitten,
And she's been down this road before.
Knew he was a user, had heard his accusers,
And this little witch knew the score.

It wasn't long before he sang his song,
To another who'd caught his eye;
But she too was a witch and a bit of a snitch,
And told Della they shared the same guy.

He'd thought he'd keep her guessin' but she taught him a lesson,
And never a tear did she cry.
Her heart filled with anger, his life now in danger,
She'd cast her spell by and by.

His pleading she rejects for he is an insect,
And she won't forgive him his lies.
Now all who see him refuse to receive him.
He's no longer a man, he's a fly.
