Room on the Broom
Room on the Broom

The witch had a cat and a very tall hat,
and long ginger hair which she wore in a plait.

How the cat purred and how the witch grinned,
as they sat on the broomstick and flew through the wind.

But how the witch wailed and how the cat spat,
when the wind blew so wildly, it blew of the hat.

“Down!” cried the witch,
and they flew to the ground.
They searched for the hat,
but no hat could be found.

Along the came a dog
and a bird and a frog.
They helped the witch find
all the things she had lost in the bog.

Unaware there was a stalker
behind on their tail.
Read forth and see
how we unravel this tale.
