Abigail Primpot

Abigail Primpot, Abigail Primpot,               …stirred her iron pot, Abigail Primpot, Abigail Primpot,              …home of death and rot, Abigail Primpot sewed and stitched a lot. She produced a sweater that shined like treasure,                            …and no one else has ever seen much better! Abigail Primpot learned to cook from old wives’ tales in an old dusty book. Frog legs, bird gizzard, wolf’s bane, small lizard, one rotten apple and one sharp tooth, …cup of mead, some spices and a bottle of vermouth, a chant and a song and a wizard’s spell, …and a whirlpool in the cauldron that went to Hell! Abigail Primpot likes to stitch ‘cause she is a witch and though she was quite young; she lived with snakes, bees and scorpions and things that stung! *Abigail Primpot would become a Beast when she wrapped herself in her shining fleece!* Abigail Primpot,               ...her home stunk of death and rot, Abigail Primpot,               ...sewed and stitched a lot, Abigail Primpot,               ...she had an iron pot, Abigail Primpot, Abigail Primpot.
