Notes About The Poem

The Witch of Halloween Doom

The witch awaits her chance to ride her broom On Hallow’s Eve she does so love to zoom Dressed in her black cape and stunning costume Her cat on the back they fly o’er the moon. Witch prepares her brew for folk to consume Made from dead rats, bats and bones from a tomb She adds mouse droppings from around the room And mixes in chopped up death cap mushroom. She bottles cat pee called ‘Bridal Perfume’ Some labelled ‘Aftershave fit for a Groom’ Loved by brides and grooms for their honeymoon Till the honeymoon ends and hope is strewn. So off she goes on the fright night of doom Joining with ghosts, ghouls and goblins of gloom People come sniffing out the cauldrons fume But trot off soon to the nearest washroom. Midnight approaches and witch strides her broom Speedily flying raising sonic boom Disturbing the birds who wrongly assume It’s morning and they start to shake their plume. The man in the moon cannot stand the vroom He hides his face and earth turns dark illume Then witch makes her descent through the volume Therefore normality should resume soon. Halloween 2021

Hello Belle ... the recipes have a tendency to go on a strict diet of everything before Halloween. Certainly an entertaining poem Belle - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay, the recipes are best avoided, before, during and after Halloween. Thank you, Belle
