Sparks leap tall buildings
and butterflies drool.
Nuns speak in cartwheels
Puritans jig like fools.
Heady verbosity
intoxicates
when hopeless romantic
meets existential basket-case.

We Deal Kindly With Witches
By Elton Camp
The Puritans were righteous as can be
And killed every witch they did see
Dame Goody they did accuse
To confess she did refuse
Didn’t burn; hung her from a tree
(The burning of witches was in Europe. The Puritans merely hanged, drowned, or crushed them to death with stones.)

Limerick
ghoulish gray ghosts gather in Galloway Gallows
girls scouts come by with Hersheys and marshmallows
goblins and ghouls stand around in the moors
hoping one of them will drop their tasty Smores
wily wild Wisconsin witches whisk by on Brookside brooms
tormenting the others, flying in and out of the rooms
we normals are quick to make excuses and leave
purple purebred puritans provide plenty of peeve
