Witchy Season Has Begun

I’m a witch, and I have receipts.

But I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Tell me what this means.

 

I felt neglected by a handful of friends,

as they didn’t reply to my texts.

I compiled a list of their names in my mind,

and shortly after, they dropped dead.

 

No—just kidding, of course.

That’s not how it all went down.

I aspire to be a good witch, after all;

no need for you to frown.

 

It was actually quite straightforward.

I made a plan to cold-call these pals on my day off,

just to see who would pick up their phones

and who would not.

 

Before I had the chance,

I took a glance at my device.

And despite distant cities and countries,

all three of them replied.

 

I know, I know.

If you’re level-headed,

there will be a psychological explanation,

or perhaps you’ll call it fate at best.

 

Three people in twenty-four hours, though?

Come on—use your imagination.

 

But as I said, I’ll let you be the judge.

Is this witchy or not?
