Three Cheers (Poetry)
07th June 2019
The witch is dead! The witch is dead!
The cry rings out across the land
The scourge is gone and overhead
Bright bunting zigzags down the Strand
The hag’s been vanquished — sent to Hell
The air smells sweeter — warm winds blow
Released from her depressing spell
Free spirits sing and faces glow
The bitch is burned — the curse undone
Too long she held the people hexed
Most give three cheers except for some
Who fear what monster may come next
The cry rings out across the land
The scourge is gone and overhead
Bright bunting zigzags down the Strand
The hag’s been vanquished — sent to Hell
The air smells sweeter — warm winds blow
Released from her depressing spell
Free spirits sing and faces glow
The bitch is burned — the curse undone
Too long she held the people hexed
Most give three cheers except for some
Who fear what monster may come next
