'<br>So they dress themselves in their winter cloaks<br>And they put on their witches hats<br>That the mothers had made for Halloween, <br>Had decorated with bats.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They climbed up over the stacked up hay<br>To the roof of the timbered barn, <br>And they peered from the moonlit bullock dray<br>To the trees by the hilltop farm, <br>But the witches danced in a grove of trees<br>Quite hidden from anyone's sight, <br>‘Let's take our brooms, ' said Alison Keys<br>‘And fly while the Moon is bright! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘Let's fly while the Moon is bright, ' she said, <br>So they stood at the edge of the hay, <br>Looked down to the old paved cattle yard<br>And the tractor, over the way.<br>‘We saw them fly, we can do it too, <br>We're witches tonight, we've seen! <br>Tonight is the magical mystery night<br>For witches - it's Halloween! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They mounted their broomsticks, held their breath<br>Then leapt each one with a scream, <br>They dropped like stones to the cattle yard<br>On the night of Halloween, <br>They were found impaled on the thresher blades<br>That was parked beside the ditch, <br>And the screams could be heard a mile away<br>In the Season of the Witch! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">15 October 2012</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Lewis+Paget">David Lewis Paget</a><div class=q>

As the Moon climbs over the hill, 
The creatures out in the wild beware
And the air is breathless, still, 
The deer is stood at the edge of the wood
Afraid to go in too soon, 
With the animals skittish, out ..."></div>
