Double Trouble, Boil and Rubble |

Flicker, flicker, do not snicker for the brew is boiling this night. Bicker, bicker, can not pick her out of the gloom on moonless night. Cackle, cackle, raising the hackle of the nape in chilling of back. Crackle, crackle, do not unshackle for the damsel now tied this rack. Glimmer, glimmer, now in shimmer are the bright orbs of flaming red. Simmer, simmer, boiling warmer a witch’s stew, of bubbling dread. Flying, flying, not ever denying as the bones do clack and clink. Crying, crying, screaming, sighing as from demons we do now shrink. Bubble, bubble, strew the rubble of the earth, don’t leave but a pile. Trouble, trouble, once now double the curse of dead, who do not smile. Chanting, chanting, ever are ranting that the Een will Hallow and stray. Stamping, scamping, we are tramping down the lane, shooing ghosts away. |
