My Family of Familiars
So Mouse said it is
fine,
And Cat agreed the
line.
Yet Dog was not so
keen,
For Rabbit to make a
scene.
So Frog made for the
road,
While the others all
blamed Toad.
And Hamster chewed her
seeds,
Sitting on Chicken's
knee.
As Newt gave all the
eye,
The large Raven flew on
by.
Leaving Snake upon the
ground,
With the Spiders
running round.
“STOP!” cried the
Witch,
“For I've had enough
of this”
And she put the Spiders
in their web,
Picked up Snake by his
head.
Called Raven to it's
perch,
Placed Newt on a
bookshelf verge.
Took Chicken out to the
Coop,
Put Hamster with her
group.
Told Toad not to roam,
Then made Frog go back
home.
She pushed Rabbit into
her hutch,
Sent Dog to bed with
slightest touch.
Insisted that Cat slept
by the broom,
Ordered Mouse back to
her room.
“That's better”
said the Witch, looking in the mirror,
“Good night to
everyone of you, my trust familiars”
