Aggie the Hag, was a wonderful witch, <br />Who all the children adored <br />She fancied herself a sorceress <br />It kept her from being bored <br /> <br />Aggie practiced for many hours <br />With her book of magic spells <br />But in the end, the final result <br />Was just a lot of bad smells <br /> <br />She had all the right ingredients <br />For conjurring up a potion <br />She mixed eye of newt, and warthog oil <br />But wound up with hand lotion <br /> <br />She had tried spells as well <br />But spells could be quite tricky <br />For once before she'd done the frog-prince spell <br />And was left with a prince, quite sticky! <br /> <br />Aggie wanted to fly through the town, <br />On her broom, for Halloween night <br />But once again she was dismayed to find <br />That heights gave her a fright <br /> <br />So, on Halloween night, she decked herself, <br />In all her witchy clothes. <br />She made herself look spooky, <br />Right down to the wart on her nose <br /> <br />She'd been busy in the kitchen, <br />With one last magic spell. <br />From what she could tell, so far, <br />It seemed to have gone quite well <br /> <br />So when children began arriving <br />Dressed as goblins, ghosts and ghouls <br />She invited them in with their parents <br />Thus breaking all the witch rules <br /> <br />She then offered them some morsels <br />For each to chew upon <br />They noshed them down quite happily <br />Until the last crumb was gone <br /> <br />She waited in anticipation <br />Of what would happen next <br />Would this spell also fizzle? <br />Or would everyone be hexed? <br /> <br />One by one, they had to agree <br />Her magic powers would stand <br />They all said her chocolate chip cookies, <br />Were the best in all the land! <br /> <br />Oct 19/06<br /><br />Dee Daffodil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aggie-the-hag/
