- The Witch's Complaint!
- Sally
the Witch is feeling vexed;
-
No spells to be worked, no one to be hexed,
-
And the rest of the coven is undersexed -
-
What is a girl to do?
-
- She's run right out of pigeon's gall,
-
Her broomstick's due for an overhaul,
-
And she's blown a fuse on her crystal ball -
-
What is a girl to do?
-
- Being a Witch is no more fun,
-
Now it's the thing for everyone -
-
Quid on the altar and get yourself done -
-
What is a girl to do?
-
- She's fallen out with High Priest's wife,
-
And blunted the edge on her white-hilt knife;
-
She's lost her way on the Tree of Life -
-
What is a girl to do?
-
Alas!
-
What is a girl to do?
