The witch flew out on a moonless night,
prayed to the devil that there'd be no light
for many a soul would lose the fight
as she came swooping down low
and cursed them with a spello!

But the witch knew not that her end was near
and she'd meet one who had no fear.
for she's counted not on the strength of beer
that one had swallowed down oh
and it's he she tried to follow.

As she swept down with a swish of her broom
our drunken lad staggered and avoided his doom.
As the haggard old witch saw the pavement loom
she didn't have time to turno
and joined in the devils inferno.

So if you like beer and I guess you do
you may swagger and trip and fall down too
but worry not if a witch wants you
for I guess you'll then not feelo
any spell a witch could dealo.

Excuse this verse cause I'm very tired
and I'm working still for I've not retired
and I really can't afford to now get fired
so I thought I'd pop in quicko
to remind you I'm still hearo!

Happy Halloween....have fun

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Hi Ivor
I think this was one of mums favourites while sat knitting and rocking Ray and Linda to sleep at night one foot on each rocker... expert from years of practice with the foot pedals on the Singer Sewing Machine


Old Mother flip flop jumped out of bed
And out of the window she poped her head,
Oh, John, John, the great goose has gone
And the fox has run away his Den-o.
Den-o, Den-o,
The fox has run away his Den-o.

err or similar

Thank you all for your responses, I wrote this straight to the site when I popped in for a quick visit as a bit of fun.
