Which Witch

Witchy Pooh stirred her stew in a cauldron pot The Pot smelled like hell The contents stank a lot Long Tongue of Lizard, Pigs Gizzard Dogs Tails, and Nose or two Eye of Cat, Fancy that I would not, would you? Witchy Pooh stirred her stew Adding Spiders and a Snake She stirred and stirred and stirred Until it was very late As she stirred she chanted I could not hear her very well It sounded foreign It must have been a Spell A Spell, Oh my Goodness I think she has spied me I thought I was inconspicuous Hiding behind this Oak Tree As the witch advanced toward me Waving a Huge Spoon I was terrified because I felt sure I would be in that Cauldron soon As her wizened face came closer I was wishing I was dead Then there was a Tremendous Noise As I tumbled out of Bed

Shirley, You brought back fond memories of Billie Hayes' Witchiepoo character, along with my favorite Mayor.. 'H.R. Pufnstuf Who's your friend when things get rough? H.R. Pufnstuf Can't do a little 'cause he can't do enough' -Richard
