Old Witch

Although people had heard the house was haunted, no one believed such nonsense. Yet, they wondered who it was that shouted down from an attic window, "Boo! Scat, and Ratcha Fratch!"... ~from "Old Black Witch"

Old Black Witch was beginning to enjoy all the attention. Soon, she began singing in her cracked voice as she put the pancakes on the table.

Sometimes she sang,

“Boil cauldron,

Make a brew,

What kind of berries

Make pancancakes blue?”

Or,

 

 

 

“Boil and bubble,

Dance a jig,

If you eat all these,

You’re a polka-dot pig!”
