The Laughter Witch
The laughter witch
puts into her cauldron
a vial of smirks
a dash of titters
a dollop of honks
a smatter of sniggers
a teaspoon of snorts
a glut of guffaws
a smidgen of chuckles
a flaskful of roars
then from Cackle Hill
and under the stars
she’ll chant and she’ll stir
up her brewhahahas
puts into her cauldron
a vial of smirks
a dash of titters
a dollop of honks
a smatter of sniggers
a teaspoon of snorts
a glut of guffaws
a smidgen of chuckles
a flaskful of roars
then from Cackle Hill
and under the stars
she’ll chant and she’ll stir
up her brewhahahas
