F O R G E T F U L W I T C H

 

By Shel Silverstein

 

I used to be a witching witch,

but now I'm just a watching witch

watching other witches witching,

wishing I could be bewitching.

but its sad to tell

I can't recall one mystic curse

or brew a poison. even worse,

I cannot chant a deadly curse

or cast a magic spell.

I can't turn princes into frogs

or turn bad children into hogs.

I used to long ago, but now

I seem to have forgotten how.

was it “toads and snails and puppies tails”?

or “toes and pails of guppies and whales”?

or “toast and bales of stale snail scales”?

I search my books and chew my nails

wonderin’ which is which,

‘cause a witch which can’t bewitch

just can’t be a witch!
