Witch's Brew

by Amy J. Kline (Insomnia) - Virgo

Entering
the witch's cave,
I couldn't help
but rave

about the scrumptious smells
that filled the still night air...
a luscious scent
that all but lured me there.

So delicious
and so sweet,
the smell
of home-cooked meat.

Having caught the scent
from far away, I could not stand the suspense.
I ran through the forest,
and countryside, jumping many a picket fence.

Finally I reached the little cave
along the oceanside
to see what wonderful surprise
was being boiled or fried.

My situation
was getting rather dire
when I saw a big, black cauldron
sitting o'er a fire.

But when I saw what was being cooked,
my heart sank in my chest.
I felt a little nauseous,
and quite a bit depressed...

for a little woman dressed in black
was reaching for a spatula...
and then I saw her happily
flip over a tarantula!
