Witches

I was walking down at Green-bank park Rather frightened as it was dark There I fell into this ditch And came across the most gruesome witch At first she scared me half to death As she sat there to my left Her nose more pointed than I had seen Face covered with moles and eyes so green Her jacket was torn her hair was a mess And holes were ladders to the hem of her dress Before I could catch my breath with time She began to sing some words of rhyme Rickety .. Rackety I am a friendly witch Be my friend and I shall grant you a wish Just don’t you listen to all they say Look here us witches are happy and gay Look here us witches are happy and gay. Then she told me a story of a witches life Condemned bad and gone was her right Burnt at the stake long in the past But no evil spell did she ever cast Just helped the people of the wood For it was not them that misunderstood It be the greedy ones of her time Then took the medicine and called it mine Then took the medicine and called it mine So the tale they tell of Halloween Is far from the truth, from what I had seen Just look little girl as you will see I may be ugly but evil not me The cats we kept took care of the mice And the hats we wore kept our ears from ice We cleaned our homes with shrub broom As rosemary and lavender fragrance our room As rosemary and lavender fragrance our room Do tell do tell of our nurses today Witches the same in their own kind of way Potions and tonics from the herbs of old Combine the mixture of modern parocetemol These wise and gentle ladies of our past Only took upon one the doctors task So little ‘O’ bright girl, now do tell me your view Of withes and nurses do tell who’s who Of witches and nurses do tell who’s who Oh sweet lady for judging it is I whom feel the fool But your memory is of evilness of that you were so cruel In a sense, innocent I now know you to be So I shall not run, I shall not turn and flee The wish of that I ask, to be that of your friend Now I truly understand this message that you send No more shall I be afraid or listen to their say Of all you witches now I know to be so happy and gay Of all you witches now I know to be so happy and gay Rickety….Rackety I’m just a friendly so said witch I possess no magic to grant you a wish I only cared and took the sick in hand Using the remedies produced by our land Using the remedies produced by our land……………………
