Witches!!!  

The Witch's Garden
In the witch's garden the gate is open wide.  
"Come inside," says the witch.
"Dears, come inside.  
No flowers in my garden nothing mint-y nothing chive-y  
Come inside, come inside.
See my lovely poison ivy."
  Lillian Moore

   
Bedtime Story
"Tell me a story," Says the Witch's Child,  
"About the Beast So fierce and wild.  
About the Ghost That shrieks and groans,  
A Skeleton That rattles bones,  
About a Monster Crawly-creepy.  
Something nice To make me sleepy."  
Lillian Moore  


Wicked witch admires herself
"Mirror,mirror on the wall,
Whose is the fairest face of all?
I'll come close, so you'll see clearer-"  
POP! goes another magic mirror.

Dear Country Witch
Dear Country Witch, Come try our city Halloween.
It's keener meaner Halloweener!  
What if yours  is greener?
We'll climb through smoke and dust and grime
upon my vacuum cleaner.

A Halloween Wish
If I could borrow a witch's broom,
I'd ride far above the town;
I'd see the place where the sun comes up,
The place where the moon goes down.  
I'd fly around by the old church tower
And wave to the folk below;
I'd see the haunts of the wise night owl
And follow the fireflies' glow.  
I shouldn't care for a tall black hat
Or cat with a fiery eye-
But I'd like to borrow a magic broom
And fly as the witches fly.  
Mabel Harmer

 
A Tale of Halloween
It was Halloween night
And there on the grass
In a large,cozy ring
All the jack-o'-lanterns sat.
When out of the woods
Stepped three witches with brooms
Followed by a hissing black cat.  
One witch lit a fire
And into a pot
Stirred snake root with a silver spoon.
When the cat took a drink
Of this horrible brew
He was rocketed straight to the moon.  
The witches shrieked
And did a weird dance,
Then off their brooms went spinning.
The fire went out
And there on the grass,
All the bright jack-o'-lanterns sat grinning.

A Little Witch
A little witch in a pointed cap
On my door went rap, rap, rap.
When I went to open it,
She was not there.
She was riding on her broomstick
High up in the air!

The Fat Old Witch
The strangest sight I've ever seen
Was a fat old witch in a flying machine.
The witch flew high.
The witch flew low.
The witch flew fast
And the witch flew slow.
She circled all around the town,
Then turning left and turning right
She disappeared into the night.
That fat old witch in the flying machine
Was the strangest sight I've ever seen.
Of course, it happened on Halloween.
