What's Cooking For Halloween: An Eclectic Elixir

Eye of newt, wing of bat,
A dab or a dollop of dragon fat,
Stirred in a pot o'er a witch's flame,
A potion for love, or riches, or fame,
Or delousing a kid, a dog, or a cat,
Or dispatching a spouse, or suspending a spat.

Thanks, Ilene. Yes, sometimes lawyers and/or chocolate and flowers just don't do the trick.

Or, at least, it makes you think it has. Thanks, Jeff.
