Witchy Poo From Dunedoo

I'm Witchy Poo from Dunedoo, I'm a flaming outback witch, You won't see me rounding cattle up Or digging in a ditch. I like to cast spells, Just like those city witches do, I've cast so many spells outback, Successful ones too. Did you know that emus Always used to fly, That is until that nasty bird, Well....dropped one in my eye. So I cast a spell So he could only move along the ground, No more zooming through the sky for him, He's terra firma bound. And as for those walking kangaroos, Too many gathered near my shack, So I cast a spell of hiccups, Just to get them back. But my most successful spell of all, And there certainly is no doubt, Was when I took the rain away And created all this drought. There's only one more thing to tell you, And that's how I got my name, The locals gave it to me, Just after the emu took its aim. authors note: Dundedoo is a real country town some 400 km north west of Sydney{ NSW Australia} in the outback

Hello Jan, I think it is one of my best 4 poems. Because I was brought up on a farm I relate to it so strongly. And Dunedoo { a real name } makes you laugh when you hear it. I am so glad you enjoyed it, I had such fun writing it. Thanks Jan. Kind regards---John
