Esther’s Writing Prompt

Joe decided to go to the witch

He’d heard of her

She could make you rich

Maybe the old story did ring true

“They” all said it could happen to you

Joe was a sad lonely man

Ate all his meals out of a can

His nights were sitting alone

Watching an old tv he owned

Visiting the witch was a last resort

People told him with some reports

He didn’t listen to them tell all

And that’s what made him fall

Into the witch’s hands of doom

Noticed evil entering her room

But then it was too late

He realized his fate

But still eyed the plate

Of cash.

So the story’s no song

Thanks for reading along

Joe’s sitting pretty

On a pile in the city

No witch around to thank

Now he’s a gargoyle on the bank.
