Why is a witch’s (you know) cold?
From riding a broom in the midnight air
or because she has no one to hold?
Maybe one look gives quite a scare
halting those who might feel bold
enough to show they really care.
Perhaps she is just terribly old
and suffering from deep despair
because when loosed they unfold
lower than mercury by compare.
