Warlock Who Was Never Kissed

She is a red-headed witch he was told
But she does have an interesting mind made of gold.
Oh, sure. Smart but not pretty he thought.
He was not a warlock easily bought.

I’d pay for your supper they said with a wink.
She probably was uglier than a Thanksgivings day sink.
He hated being this way, but looks meant a lot.
To this warlock who was more shallow than they had thought.

No thanks he said, I am too busy washing my hair.
He said it without malice, giving it not one more care.
So he did not get a date, and his mouth was never kissed.
If you look up at this photo, you will see what he missed.

(chuckling) Well...well, the truth comes out! (still chuckling) He doesn't know what he missed...or perhaps he does!
