So he needed to take
A spoonful of peppermint tonic.

There Once Was A Witch - So Chic A Halloween Limerick
There once was a witch - so chic;
She never, to mortals, did speak.
She wore fancy clothes,
Had a beautiful nose,
And her hair was shiny and sleek.
But her heart was evil and black;
She needed the world out-of-whack.
She cast a foul potion
Into the ocean,
And made all the starfish go, "Quack."
