Witches, bunions, boys and catsA Poem by GeeSeeing is believing...
Her besom powered by nowt but spells
crossed the sky on all hallows eve, a kid with his mum mid trick or treat rubbed his eyes as he didn't believe. Cos mum had always said to him that witches were not of this life, even though he'd heard his dad more than once say he'd got one for a wife. So he tugged the sleeve of his mother's coat said " mum there's a witch up there, on a brush with a cat wearing a pointy hat and flames in her jet black hair" The mother looked to the jaundiced moon scoured the star lit sky, looked down at the incredulous face of her son said to him in low tones with a sigh. " I've told you before and I'll tell you again there is no such thing as a witch, or wizards and dragons, monsters and ghouls your minds playing games, it's a glitch " But as these words fell from her lips and very much to her surprise, a witch with a cat in a pointy hat appeared like magic before her eyes.. Well, the mother recoiled, peed her pants screamed at the top of her voice, the witch cackled loudly, then raspily said, " trick or treat mum, what's your choice. If you ask for a trick I'll strike you dumb, or dumber as may be the case, but a treat if you ask may salvage your night and in front of your boy save face" She winked at the boy and her cat in a hat to show she was messing around, as the mother prayed loudly, her first ever time, curled up in a ball on the ground. She muttered and stuttered then quietly sobbed " If you please I'll have me a treat" and with that in a jiffy, down in her shoes two bunions disappeared from her feet.. And then in a flash the witch was gone away on her brush with the cat, but not before giving to the grinning boy a black pointy, halloween hat. And this he wears each all hallows eve and sometimes when visiting mum, in the nut house for mothers with bunion less feet and fears that have stricken them dumb. © 2018 GeeAuthor's Note
