  3. “The Witch” by Jack Prelutsky • She comes by night, in fearsome flight,In garments black as pitch,the queen of doom upon her broom,the wild and wicked witch, • a crackling crone with brittle bonesand desiccated limbs,two evil eyes with warts and stiesand bags about the rims, • a dangling nose, ten twisted toesand fold of shriveled skin,cracked and chipped and crackled lipsthat frame a toothless grin. • She hurtles by, she sweeps the skyand hurls a piercing screech.As she swoops past, a spell is caston all her curses reach. • Take care to hide when the wild witch ridesto shriek her evil spell.What she may do with a word or twois much too grim to tell. • Source: The Witch By Jack Prelutsky - Halloween Poemshttp://www.poemsclub.com/the-witch-by-jack-prelutsky.html#ixzz2sduqg48z
