Witches Do Not Wear Green
Witches do not wear green I told the little blonde thing.
She had swept in on a broom with a ring-a-ding-a-ling.
Laughing at my absolutes, she stuck her tongue out at me.
She is your idea? Trixie, my muse asked with a bit of glee.
She came from my imagination, I admitted, but I do not know her.
The little witch did a fancy no-hands trick and gave us a purr.
She sounds like a cat, I would watch out if I were you, Trixie said.
I picked up a pencil and began drawing to get her out of my head.
I will just draw her up fast, I said to almost no one at all.
She did a few extra loop-de-loop tricks, but in no way did fall.
Let’s just ink her up, Trixie coaxed me, I knew she wanted to paint.
Of course I made her green, in honor of St Paddy’s day, Saint.
