Since 2015, my Teensy-Weensy Witch has been causing havoc and mayhem in The Little Red Story Shed at Halloween, and she is back for another installment this year! So without further ado, here is…

Teensy-Weensy Witch and the Bug-Eyed Toad

(99 words)

The Teensy-Weensy Witch awoke one eerie Autumn night

and spied the witch’s circle in the Halloweensie light.

The entrance to the witch’s ball was through the fairy ring,

but bug-eyed toads stood on patrol for witches on the wing.

She picked up Sammy Spider from the cobweb by her hat,

a potion for slow-motion, her broomstick, and her cat.

She snuck towards the toad patrol and sprinkled slow-mo dust,

Sammy Spider dangled as they licked their lips with lust.

Launching quickly through the air, she whipped the prey away,

and disappeared inside the ring…her trick had saved the day!
