Goodluck Charm or A Hot Time in the Ole Town

Ward off the  drought

With a roll in the grass

Put junipers ablaze for

The Lenten mass.



Roast the cat, the makral

And straw man too

While the young, the coupling

Brave the fires to woo.



Strike the flint, light the hills

Toss the mugwort 'n' 'vain

Into the fires of this

Year's Beltane.



Witches are nigh o'er the

Walpurgis Eve farms

While children of Bergstralh

Scatter the charms.



Oh, unlucky men of Baal,

The poor carline is dead.

He lept through the fires of

A muckle and fled.



Dash evil and gloom.

Keep the dragonseed from

The waters by the fires of

Vineland's middlesum.

Very nicely "crafted" so to speak :) Witches are great. Just fantastic. I have always been fascinated by witchcraft, wicca, and the unordinary. Kudos for this one!
