THE WITHERED WITCH AND HER HENCHMAN a withered witch had her own crone at whom she'd ***** and nag and moan to make life cursed for her henchman since best for worst had been her plan a sweet old broad to untrained eye mean overlord to her old guy and what you'd hear come from their yard was less old dear more prison guard she'd yell and bray, she'd give commands which he'd obey with ancient hands and quite forlorn by circumstance he'd mow the lawn and plant the plants then paint the shed and prune the rose then **** the bed and man the hose make straight the edge and feed the birds and trim the hedge - all on her word then quick to state he'd done it wrong she'd cry 'not straight, you took too long, in the wrong place, too deep, won't sprout' right in his face, day in, day out no word was heard from there one day no strife was stirred, no fresh affray what kind of game could her placate? the answer came a tad too late in pools of red they found her laid stuck in her head - a garden ***** with him suspended from a tree life self-ended...peacefully he'd left a note of what occurred and what he wrote, his final word 'that's one task that I know for sure she won't ask me to do once more' one quick aside that's wise to tell is when they died both went to Hell where she's displeased with his last choice and he's still teased by her shrill voice.

THE WITHERED WITCH AND HER HENCHMAN
THE WITHERED WITCH AND HER HENCHMAN a withered witch had her own crone at whom she'd ***** and nag and moan to make life cursed for her henchman since best for worst had been her plan a sweet old broad to untrained eye mean overlord to her old guy and what you'd hear come from their yard was less old dear more prison guard she'd yell and bray, she'd give commands which he'd obey with ancient hands and quite forlorn by circumstance he'd mow the lawn and plant the plants then paint the shed and prune the rose then **** the bed and man the hose make straight the edge and feed the birds and trim the hedge - all on her word then quick to state he'd done it wrong she'd cry 'not straight, you took too long, in the wrong place, too deep, won't sprout' right in his face, day in, day out no word was heard from there one day no strife was stirred, no fresh affray what kind of game could her placate? the answer came a tad too late in pools of red they found her laid stuck in her head - a garden ***** with him suspended from a tree life self-ended...peacefully he'd left a note of what occurred and what he wrote, his final word 'that's one task that I know for sure she won't ask me to do once more' one quick aside that's wise to tell is when they died both went to Hell where she's displeased with his last choice and he's still teased by her shrill voice.
