Witching Kate

Whenever I went with winsome Kate

She’d say, ‘I’m a witch, and that,’

And while in bed, with love in my head,

All she would do was chat.

She’d chatter about the latest spell

She’d found in her old Grimoire,

While I would lie, and dream of her thighs

And hope she’d surprise me there.

And so she did, a number of times

Each time that I’d reach for her,

Like shifting sand, I’d find in my hand

A handful of p***y fur,

The black cat under the counterpane

Would wriggle and spit and scratch,

And I’d withdraw, away from its paw

I’d find it more than a match.

Then she’d go on about frogs and spawn

While up above in her flat,

And hanging down from her ceiling fan

The nastiest looking bat.

‘I hope that’s not going to drop on us,’

I’d say, but she didn’t care,

It often lay on her pillow case

All tangled up in her hair.

‘Wouldn’t you like to make witching love?’

I’d say to her, in despair,

While she would lie, with spells in her eye

And some that would really scare.

She said she needed to concentrate

And would make some terrible moans,

They seemed to come from the mantlepiece

Where she kept a pile of bones.

She called them Fred, he was certainly dead

And he stared at us from above,

She’d cry, and say that there was a day

When he was her one true love.

But he’d fallen into her pickle jar

One day, when casting a spell,

And she’d pulled him out, too late, no doubt,

He’d pickled his way to hell.

I bid farewell to my witching one

Before I suffered his fate,

I’d prayed for love to heaven above

Knowing it was too late.

She’d filled a cauldron with toads and newts

Then turned and reached for my hand,

But I had fled, the moment she said,

‘Now all I need is a man!’

Enjoy reading your pieces as always. The song witchy woman by the eagles for some reason comes to my mind. Well done!

Gee whiz, and my 4 brothers called me Kate years ago .Either that or [Katie Did] or blaming me with a [Katie Did It]. Also thought of my sister living next door here with her 9 cats. Glad you escaped. Valentine
