Witches Night Out

Double trouble, worries and toils,
Words are hissed as cauldron boils.
Eye of newt and heart of swine,
Lizard gizzards soaked in brine;

Ancient crones stir their noisome stew,
Cackling shrilly as spells they brew.
Their task completed, the deed is done,
Deep in a cavern concealed from the sun.

Where once crouched hideous cackling crones,
Yellowed skin stretched over creaking bones;
Proud, voluptuous sirens now stand;
Fair as any maiden throughout the land.

In a trice they summon enchanted steeds and fly,
Out of haunted cavern and into night sky.
A familiar is left to guard their enchanted cave;
A bit of a companion, a bit of a slave.

To the scrying crystal he silently stalks,
Haughty disdain expressed in his walk.
Curiosity glistens in his feline eyes,
Watching witches frolic high in the skies.
