She could never get it quite right
Mixed the craziest things together
Fire and brimstone, all through the night
Eye of newt, pinch of rat and a feather

She stirred the cauldron many times
Until she couldn’t stir any longer
So, into the pot, she decided to climb
Thought the brew should be a bit stronger

All you could see were boots on her feet
On her legs, orange stockings of lace
Twas told her nectar was hard to beat
As should be, in any witch’s case

Bubbles made their way to the top
One by one, they escaped in the air
Esmeralda stayed, no, she didn’t stop
Sucking down her brew, without care

When the others arrived to sample
Her head was still stuck in the crock
This witch wasn’t setting a good example
She was drunk to the hilt, what a shock!

They tried to pull her from the pot
They couldn’t budge her, not an inch
Esmeralda now known as a wicked old sot
Best be careful, you could be her next pinch

The Flux ~ #poetry #AprilWriting #NaPoWriMo

This continuous flow we’ve encountered
Has made us very incapacitated

Someone’s been pouring too much wine
At this bar, called The Flux, so outdated

Still, a gathering of others, keep streaming in
They all appear to be quite inundated

By the amount of spirits making the rounds
Which is making us all nauseated

So, we’ll meet by the old clock tower
The one that’s so antiquated

Get in the DeLorean, cause that’s the one
Where the driver has been designated

Strap on your seat belt, get ready to fly
Your senses will become exhilarated

For once you are in the car with Doc
You can count on being evaporated

There he was, good ole guzzling Gary

Sat at the bar, with his pal Harry

The two knocked back a few

Then the bar stools they threw

Locked up, they became legendary

Conspicuous Coincidences ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

As fate would have it
Appearing again
A visible creature
An angel, so prim

She’ll pour you a glass
Or perhaps even two
As the clock ticks off time
Oh my, how it flew

She’s taking no chances
Making sure you’ll partake
Her slithering friend
Sees to your mistake

While her innocent face
Has you mesmerized, still
She’ll pour you another
Draw you in, against your will

No longer a battle
This one, you did lose
A victim of happenstance
Better knock off the booze

I cannot take credit for this. This little ditty has been around for ages and still makes me laugh. Hope it gave you a smile, too.  Now stop hogging the wine and pass it over here!  🙂
