WITCH WAY.
BY JOHN E. STERLING.

This School bus and me we just don't agree,
a yellow skinned beast full of chaos snd sticky.
The road from the School is wrapped in a forest,
I could have spent the day here instead of sitting that test.
I stare deep through the trees at a curious sight,
flashing and burning a bright Emerald light.
Then from out of the Blue came a Green lightning bolt,
screeching and screaming we came to a halt.
As I looked up and around I heard a ribbeting sound, like sounds you'd hear from a bogs.
Looking closer I noticed there were no Girls and no Boys, seems all the kids had turned into Frogs.
Everyone gone, 'wow what a beaut', even the driver except he was a newt.
So I stepped off the bus and made straight for the glow,
I had to trudge through thickets and ditches, I soon reached a clearing, the source of the glow and witnessed a very weird show.
Dancing and singing, flying and brewing, I had discovered a coven of Witches.
From a branch in a tree one Witch flew down like a Bird,
she stopped in front of me and just stayed there and hovered.
Shad a cat for a hat and candeliers in her ears.
She said "Welcome young Sam",
I gasped "You know who I am"?
"You were summoned here because of your name, for you are the Hallow the Moon and the night, behold you are the Samhain"
A little bit puzzled and quite taken aback I was shocked even more as my clothes turned to black.
As I met all the Witches they were giving me things, most of it gross, especially the wings.
I then met an Owl who said, "Hi, my name is Lars, I'm going to teach you how to fly to the stars"
He gave me a broomstick that floated and said, "wood from a magical tree", so I sat and thought 'now what do I do'? and the Owl said, "just follow me"
We soared through the night through silvery clouds, I saw all of the Earth a sight like no other.
"Now you know and now you can see" said the Owl, "The Planet we live on, that is our Mother"
Then I looked down and saw something wrong in the coven, Lars shouted,
"Trolls", "We must drop like we're stones, they'll capture our friends, throw them into a big oven, then cook em and eat em and chew on their bones"
I said, "We can't fight these Trolls, we need something to help us",
so we made for the road and the frog filled School bus.
We flew to the School bus in less than a minute, I started the engine and the Owl said "Hit it!"
Sounding the horn with all the lights flashing we crashed through the clearing to do some Troll bashing, the Trolls were so scared they screamed, "Foal dee roll!",
then they all scampered and disappeared down a hole.
Every Witch was alright and the cheer went up, "Sam saved the night!"
and we danced until it was day, then Frogs back to kids, Newt back to driver, the bus was sent on it on its way.
Asked Lars, "Aren't you going?"
I said, "No I think that i'll stay."
