What kind of witch
wears a hat like this?
Orange and plastic and big.
What kind of witch
leaves her hat in the ditch
to be hit by a wide-wheeled rig?
Where is the witch?
Did she make a dark switch
to a hat that matches her wig?
Or did the old witch
try a spell with a glitch
and turn herself into a twig?

BC likes it “because it rhymes and it’s funny and awesome!” Me too.
Nothing makes me happier than praise from BC!
I had a student once wear a small one of these as part of his Halloween costume, said he was a traffic controller! Very fun poem, Liz.
A traffic controller! Brilliant!
Ha! Very cute poem. Thanks.
