The Witch Before Me

The witch was waiting for me, waiting up high She smiled, a crooked smile, with a cool wink She’s a wryly young witch one you can’t deny She swooped down on me, quicker than you might think I was in fear of her awesome, great power Right in the corner I would go and cower There before me I’m face to face with her eyes She flayed me with evil, direct from the skies

The witch slapped me with dragon flies, probably led to my demise, yes man i'm up the creek, the witches voice do shriek, "stop yappin little freak, honey chile you's talkin lies, in mortals i does despise, a poncy mortal weak:( forever hold your speak," broom left with cackling cries, before the moon she flies, horrendous to the weak, but me i canna speak, just spitting Dragon flies... re : Russell Sivey "The Witch Before Me" Don Johhnson
