“She comes by night, in fearsome flight,

In garments black as pitch,

the queen of doom upon her broom,

the wild and wicked witch,

a crackling crone with brittle bones

and dessicated limbs,

two evil eyes with warts and sties

and bags about the rims,

a dangling nose, ten twisted toes

and fold of shriveled skin,

cracked and chipped and crackled lips

that frame a toothless grin.

She hurtles by, she sweeps the sky

and hurls a piercing screech.

As she swoops past, a spell is cast

on all her curses reach.

Take care to hide when the wild witch rides

to shriek her evil spell.

What she may do with a word or two

is much too grim to tell.”

- The Witch by Jack Prelutsky

Stay safe out there.
