warning from Casual Witch

Casual witch was covered with newts, polliwogs and frogs
She was determined to find a barnyard and incorporate some hogs
Thinking she was buggers, I turned and walked toward the bogs
Be careful! She yelled after me, those alligators pretend they are logs.

This gave me pause, and I slowed down my steps somewhat.
I walked past a garbage dumpster, a forest, and a gray hut.
Wondering if casual witch knew anything more than me.
Ouch! An alligator bit off my leg at the knee.
