A MURDER OF CROWS...










There was an old crow

Who had a big heart

But when push came to shove

She was not very smart






There was an old crow

Who wore touches of lace

But when she opened her mouth

It was just a disgrace







There was an old crow

With a tall stovepipe hat

Because she carried a flag

She thought she was all that






There was an old crow

Who was shiny and bright

And she was straight as an arrow

When she took flight







There were two old crows

That sat on a pie

One said she was sweet

The other..."Not I"






I hope you enjoyed

This small murder of crows

And when you saw 'murder'

What did you suppose


That they would finally come

To a horrible end






No...

It just means they are

Part of a group

And are really 

Just friends.




...The Cottage Witch...



Cauldrons bubble
Broomsticks twitch
What a night
To be a witch.
