Witches

If I was a witch I’d work in the east.

West witches have a bad rep, to say the least.

They probably aren’t really so bad,

But they’re reputed to be stark raving mad.

Whether good or bad, east or west,

I wonder if they take a test

To see if they can fly their broom

All around the living room.

Do all good witches dress in white?

With matching pajamas for sleeping at night?

I’m sad for those that always wear black,

They live,we’re told, in a dingy old shack.

If I were a witch I’d travel so far,

And watch all the people from the rim of a star.

I’d help all the good ones raise money for  rent

As long as they fork over my 10 per cent.
