Setting fire to the midnight sky
She takes off, upon her broom

Halloween, the witch’s right
Tis the hour of certain doom

She leaves her black cat, safe at home
As she flies about, through the clouds

He mews his loudest, atop the dome
She repeats to him, he’s not allowed

This is her night, to release her wrath
Probably better if you stay home, too

For the broom of doom, in its aftermath
Makes you, the main course, for her stew

She did it on purpose, I know it!
Put those gross little things in the stew
Tried to disguise them as potatoes
Leaving me no choice, but to spew

Carrots and peas, flying everywhere
Beef, shredded, more than before
Those torturous turnips, defeated
I threw the rest of them on the floor!

 

Partially based on a true story. I never ate my mother-in-law’s stew again lol

Whatever shall I make for dinner?

The cupboard is bare, nothing new

It has to be something that’s tasty

I know! I’ll make some alphabet stew

I can’t remember where I put them

Those letters, always on the loose

I need to gather enough of them

To allow me, this stew, to produce

Finally finding the package

I take what I need to proceed

An S, a U, two P’s and an E

Exactly the letters I need

But wait! Something is missing

This really is quite bizarre

I thought I had it altogether

But my supper is missing its R
