THE WITCHES FINGER

The witches finger

When night time falls on Halloween if you`re near the woods don’t linger
For if you stand to long this night you`ll feel the Witches finger.

It`s long and crooked with a pointy nail its skin is rough and grey
It comes alive on Halloween night but dead and black by day.

She wakens up but once a year from her cold and icy tomb
Then she sharpens up her nails and sits upon her broom.

She screams a deathly cackle as she adorns her Witches hat
Then summons from the depths of hell her big black evil cat.

It stretches and it yawns with its mouth so big and fat
Then gobbles up the cobwebs and the spiders from her hat.

With jagged teeth and razor claws and a pair of fiery eyes
It sits upon the Witches knee as they take towards the skies.

The crypt doors they burst open as her finger points the way
She`s hunting for some victims before the break of day.

She`s flying through the night sky with evil in her eye
She’s hunting for lost children as she passes by.

She needs to be replenished with her heart as dark as coal
She’ll put her finger on your chest and steal your mortal soul.

So when you’re trick or treating in your Halloween disguise
Don’t wander in the shadows where the witchy has her eyes.

Don’t go down dark or unlit lanes where children should not be
Stay in the light stay with your friends where you can clearly see.

But when a shadow falls across the moon and you hear the witches scream
Your legs are frozen to the spot and you pray it’s just a dream.

Her dark cloak flutters in the wind her broomstick whooshes by
She has rotten teeth a crooked hat and she only has one eye.

So hold on tight and run for the light and do not be a hinder
Because if she catches up with you you`ll feel the witches finger.
THE END
