Witches Are An Endangered Species
~*Marge Tindal*~

I gaze into the mirror
and what do I see ?
Warts, when I snort,
looking back at me.

I attempt a coquettish smile,
and what next do I see ?
Spears sticking out
where my teeth used to be !

A witch, a witch,
that's what I've become.
Moss growing on my wrinkles,
my face showing I've succumbed.

My black heart
is heavy-laden,
for I can clearly see
I am no longer a maiden.

Shake me, beat me,
shoot me with an arrow.
Life as I know it is over,
the path seems so narrow.

Let me crawl into the swamp.
This life is too much for me.
Oh, let this witch be done.
Put me out of my misery !

*Just feeling a little witchy this morning !

Think yourself lucky - hop on a broom stick and fly, also if you want to turn Ron into a toad, He'd be able to have a 'croak' while keeping this place undercontrol . Thanks a lot Marge, your ever an inspiration to us all and very fitting considering the short while to Haloween (you do celabrate it over there don't you ?) . Loved it .

Inspired to write one about me... hehehehehe

Marge if you're a witch then it's the good one!!! Bravo, I really like this, it's obviously bewitching, and full to the brim of sorcery and magic. (Well that's as far as my sleepy brain can take me, not an ideal attitude to take to work is it.) Really love this Marge, it's so great.
Take care,
                     Marsha

Of course you're a witch!  I see you as Elizabeth Montgomery, and she was some beautiful witch!  So twitch!!!

Oh no no no.  No witch are you.  Or has everything else just been a clever disguise? LOL  
Very enjoyable read.

someone said it earlier, and i don't think you could EVER have a black heart!
a little bit of the Salem vibe to go with breakfast, eh?  
i think this was very nice. it seems i joined an endangered spieces... do we get grant money from the EPA?

I am reminded of the immortal words of Socrates who said, "I drank what?"

Marge,

I can't believe you told people this..! Now their going to know you live on a secret reserve in South America in a RV. By the way, how did you escape..?



Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am.

I always knew there was something special about you beside your poetry.  *smile*   anytime you want to get together and mix up a spell, just hop on your broom and fly on over to Kansas...
