Folktale Week - Costume

An invite and a call

Went out to the world at large

There was a king who wanted to bring

happiness and love to all

The king would throw a party

And to make sure no one would be tardy,

He ordered each suit and dress

To make sure that everyone looked their best.

But there was one thing he didn’t know

There was a witch who would try to ruin the show!

She made her thread and began to sew

Her very own dress, head to toe!

A patch would go here..

And a patch would go there

She scoffed, “I really didn’t care.”

She would show up and be real shrewd

Spit when she talked and chewed!

And then the night did come

When it was time for all to have some fun.

The king did his introduction

Horns blared and what a function!!!

The witch entered the room

And the crowd clapped and wooed

Complimenting,

“What a lovely costume!”

The Witch was mad but blushed

“Yes I just made this in a rush.”
