Val, the Valiant Little Witch
Val was graduating from school,
Her grade point average was good-
Halloween night was her big debut,
A difference she’d make, if she could!
She liked to study and read her books,
Straight “A’s” and nothing less-
She was pretty and had good looks,
And her manners were always the best-
It did not matter what the class,
Broom flying, charms, chants and more-
She learned everything so lightening fast,
Teachers sensed much promise in store-
The little witch enchanted them,
"A bit of evil lurked surely inside-"
She twirled and whirled and held a slight grin,
Knowing she had something to hide-
The final exam was about to take place,
Little Val was kind of afraid-
Her clothes were laid out at home, so she raced,
Then "goodbye" to her parents she bade.
She opened the door and went on her way,
A million things raced through her mind-
She had to think straight,for this wasn’t play,
Her secret, she hoped they’d not find-
"Oh my" she thought as she returned to class,
“I hope they don’t sense I’ve been lying-
I pretend to be mean and I can harass,
But the inside of me is just sighing-“
“Okay” said the teacher, Let’s hit the town,
To show what each of you’ve learned-
Please, witches beware, if you can’t cast a spell,
Your diplomas you’ll have to return-
So carefully, the class filed out,
The administrators right by their sides-
Little Val, she wanted to shout,
But for now she’d have to abide-
Moonlight was shadowed and not very bright,
Sidewalks were crowded, not bare-
All-Hallowed-Eve’s night had perfect light,
And at all of them, not a soul stared-
Lots of movement was stirring around,
Costumes abound on this night-
Val breathed in deeply, not making a sound,
It was time to make things right!
The little witch was conniving, it’s true,
Now her powers were about to be tried-
She had learned many things in sorcery school,
Like, spells should never be misapplied!
“HALT,” said Val in a voice loud and clear,
“I have something that I must announce,
This applies to everyone here,
THIS WITCHCRAFT YOU HAVE TO RENOUNCE!”
Little witch Val knew she had to work fast,
And began quickly making her brew-
“From this day forward until your last,
Only good things can come from you!“
The teachers were stunned - so were her friends,
Val had a goal from the start-
A difference she'd made as she managed to cleanse,
All the meanness right out of each heart!
