Warlocks And Witches Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The demons are up before dawn.
Exercising their right,
To throw havoc on your path.
They are up before you yawn...
To slip you a 'mickie' quick,
And be on their way!

They know you aren't prepared for them...
To be full of vigor, zest and vim.
If you were they wouldn't be hanging around.
Doing the very best they can to bring you down!
That's why you can't afford to slide...
Not with these clever asses trying to wring you dry!

And they'll soak up every bit of sentiment that you've got!
Playing on emotions they know you rather not!
And delay your every action to move ahead they will do!
By using family members and friends...
To get to play along too!

Oh,
They are clever!
Those lieing demon bitches!
And once you recognize them,
And see them for who they are!
You will want to catch them early...
Delighting,
In digging others' ditches!
But you must sacrifice and trust!
These warlocks and witches will be gone before dusk!
