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
