Found My Calling?

My former good looks are long gone as now I'm a long way from young I'd need a physician perhaps a magician in order to right what is wrong. I know that I'll never be rich but perhaps I'll find my own niche if I get a black cat and a big pointy hat I could be the neighbourhood witch.

I came up with two replies and was so pleased with my little self that I've added both.

You’ll need a broom of course (A witch can’t ride a horse) I have one spare Or even a pair If you can’t find another source A witch you never could be You’re much too nice you see So forget the cat Just sit and chat While I make you a nice cup of tea.

Thanks Judy, those are both absolutely brilliant! It's kind that you offer a broom for that will dispel any gloom I'll soar up on high far up in the sky away from all troubles I'll zoom.

Very good one Janet, but you are too pretty to become a witch so: Forget about the back cat, stay here and you will have no regret we can share a treat that would be neat stay inside and avoid to get wet.

Does your nose have a wart? Your ambition that may thwart You can ride on a stick If you are rather slick But I’m not sure it’s all that smart A girl with a bucket of water Could cut your life shorter A puddle you’ll be A sorry sight to see A calling perhaps find another

Bravo Iz! It may be I've not thought this through my decision perhaps I will rue I haven't a wart and don't want to be caught by that girl throwing water, that's true

Oh my! My daughter suggested that with my dill and ginger and oregano leaves, I could concoct a healing potion to give to neighbors. My daughter added also, given my long silvery strands, I only need a pointed hat and be the neighborhood witch.
