Witch Disappointed

Oh she put on her goddess gown —

purple it was, and black —

in order to dance for the Equinox

at the Castle down the track.

And she put on her crystal point —

she hung it around her neck —

to go and chant for the Equinox

at Uki Castle, by heck.

And she put on her fine Spring cloak  —

the sun appliquéd on its back —

because she would feast the Equinox

with her friends  … but alas, alack!

She turned the key; the car was dead.

She could curse and she could hex

but it would not take her down to Uki

to celebrate Equinox.

And brooms don’t fly as fast as cars —

isn’t that a thing to vex?

And so it’s quiet and solitary here
that she keeps this Equinox.
