In blackest night
And full moons light
You can hear the horrible laughter
A scary sight
The witch’s flight
And creepy dreams thereafter

She opens her book
And takes a look
To see what she can create
A pigs ear there
And an elephant’s hair
Can make you levitate

A dead mans thumb
Can make one dumb
If you use it the wrong way
But say the spell
And all is well
Night turns into day

The book of the dead
Is often misread
If the reader does not know
That the words are cursed
To say the worst
From an evil from long ago

An evil so old
With a heart that is cold
God sent Him directly to Hell
Her master the first
And eternally cursed
On earth He doth dwell

To free Him she must
Collect some dust
And cobwebs and turpentine
A handful of worms
And millions of germs
And the eyeballs of a swine

Some slimy old snails
And puppy dog tails
Along with the head of an Ox
A shovel of dirt
A little boy’s shirt
And also the nose of a Fox

A vampire’s fang
And an orangutan
Mixed with the sweat of a ghost
A werewolf’s hair
The blood of a mare
Now you’re done…almost

Mix them well
And chant the spell
And cook the contents on low
In the cauldron of sin
And demons within
The sky begins to glow

Once again
The evil within
Has been released upon the land
Now don’t delay
But begin to pray
To the Son at the right Hand

And so you know
Before I go
That good always wins
For only He
Can oversee
The destruction of all sins



Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

You know, I knew I forgot something.

I was trying to give it more of a scary ending but like all of my poems, they never end up the way I want them to. Thanks.
