Four Dead Witches Poem by maria goodison

On all hallo eve four dead witches are walking down the street
singing and laughing also carrying bags full of treats.

'Oh give us something good to eat, boiled rats and bats
Dipped in wax'

On all hallo eve four dead witches keep knocking at your
door, singing as they tap their brooms on the floor.

'We don't mind, what we eat oh let's us have some chocolate frogs
Or dried pigs ears.'

On all hallo eve four dead witches walking down the street singing and laughing
Carrying bags that are getting bigger with every knock on the doors.

'We have such trick in store, warms up your noes and slugs in your stew
Snakes in your car and bags on your roof, there nothing that we won't do.
So give us something good to eat or we will turn you in to snakes in your
Sleep'
