The Witch Next Door
A misconception is the tale
that witches wear such evil faces
That we should dread October's spell
or cloudy nights, and creepy spaces
A wart-nosed witch that rides a broom
is not the girl who lives next door
who hides away, some lonely room
She may be fair, she may be more
Have you met a lonely ghoul
who names her spiders Mold and Slime?
Brewing potions, but is no fool
We'll pass her by most every time
Witches pass us by each day
They don't play games of hide and seek
Ghouls are clever and want to play
and normal friends they want to meet
The cauldron cleaned with spit and shine
will brew a drink that's rather bold
Prepared to hold a drink of wine
Beware that it will knock you cold!
She'll host a party, if you dare!
Sweep misconceptions out the door
You'll have a blast if you're prepared
The witch is just a neighbor right next door!
