The Lonely Witch in the Candy House

Once upon a time..

On a warm summer day,

a very lonely witch,

heard some kids out at play.

She poked her head outside,

to check the kids out,

only to discover, 

her house was in their mouth!

She built it out of candy,

what else could she expect?

Kids will be kids,

they never show respect.

She opened up the door,

to welcome them in.

She turns on the oven, 

so dinner can soon begin. 

The children did seem hungry,

after all they were eating her house.

When she sees the children start to enter,

she becomes as quiet as a mouse.

Her appearance is rather scary,

but she would never bring any harm.

When the kids walked passed,

she reached for his arm.

The girl lets out a shriek, 

the boy tries to run.

The witch could already tell,

this was going to be no fun.

You see, the witch was very lonely,

and desperate for some friends,

but there was no way her story

would have a happy end.

The children ran straight towards the kitchen,

where the oven was oh so hot. 

The witch followed right after,

in order to make them stop.

The witch stood in front of the oven,

to save the children from burning,

little did she know,

the childrens wheels were turning.

The witch saved the children,

but as for herself she was much too late.

The kids had already decided,

the kind witches fate.

They pushed her in the oven,

to make sure she would die.

They walked right out of the candy house,

with one really big lie.

The children told the whole town,

about that summer day,

and all the people believed

in their heroic ways.

The story went down in history,

always to be remembered.

But, the truth is, the witch was kind

and the kids were just self-centered.
