Witches Brew!


Hubble

And bubble

And steam and stir

The witch comes near

Do you fear?


Bubble

And boil

A tear wets your cheek

Your voice catches

In your throat

A meagre, lifeless,

Squeak


The witch cackles

The sound a chill

Turning you spine so cold

She closes in upon you

As your bladder releases its hold


She beckons you, "Come closer!"

But your feet refuse to budge

The mirth brightens her

Long dead eyes

As you feel you're trapped in

Sludge


Hubble

And trouble

You wish you could no longer see

But, then you realise

As she reaches out

It's just for a cup of tea!
