LIMERICKS (Apr ‘25)

Too old to go trick or treating
With some old bats I'll be meeting
Round the cauldron we'll chant
And wine we'll decant

Too old to go trick or treating
With some old bats I'll be meeting
Round the cauldron we'll chant
And wine we'll decant

Our chanting was haunting and scary

Cooked spells in ovens

It takes me back to yesteryear
When witches caused terror and fear
They met in covers
Cooked spells in ovens
Townsfolk burnt them alive and jeer

To survive, you had to be tough

Just frightening wars

It gives me a case of the blues
Just frightening wars

There is nothing that I would choose
