The Witch Who Couldn'T Fly

There was a witch who couldn't fly. 
She couldn't sit upon her broom 
like other witches in the sky. 
There was a witch who couldn't fly. 
She was so fat from thigh to thigh, 
her sweeper vanished in that gloom. 
There was a witch who couldn't fly. 
She couldn't sit upon her broom. 

There was a witch who couldn't stir 
her cauldron full of warted toad, 
eight spider legs, and kitty fur. 
There was a witch who couldn't stir. 
You'd think she was an amateur. 
The potion always overflowed. 
There was a witch who couldn't stir 
Her cauldron full of warted toad. 

There was a witch who couldn't scare 
the very snot from costumed kids. 
It really was a sad affair. 
There was a witch who couldn't scare. 
She was the joke of witches' lair 
for every single thing she did. 
There was a witch who couldn't scare 
the very snot from costumed kids. 

There was a witch who couldn't rhyme 
a magic spell so it would work. 
Her sisters laughed, a mocking chime. 
There was a witch who couldn't rhyme. 
She pushed them in a pot of slime. 
She killed them with a little smirk. 
There was a witch who couldn't rhyme 
a magic spell so it would work. 

There was a witch who lost some weight. 
Then she enrolled in witches' school. 
She learned to rhyme. Her spells were great! 
There was a witch who lost some weight. 
She learned to fly and navigate! 
To scare became her crafty tool. 
There was a witch who lost some weight. 
Then she enrolled in witches' school.

Kitty fur? I do not like this Witch at all. Great piece of writing. Reminds me a little of Edward Lear. Have a great day my friend.
