Witches by the sink
"Oh dear, you're going to fail "
She told me
"If your spells are perfect
Your charms most charming
Forget about your potions
You've ruined the pot again
Look at that mucky bottom
Should have checked the recipe
Potion making is a scientific art
In which creativity is abhorrent
What in high heavens
Were you trying to cook in there ?"
"Just a coq au vin, my dear" said I .
You said yourself " it was quite the thing,
As aphrodisiacs go , it couldn't be better
You have to make up your mind,
Can't use a pot without blacking it
That's rule number one of potion making,
As you well know it"
" Blacking and burning are two different things"
" It's only a question of scrubbing really"
"There you go, then"
Handing me the scrubbing brush.
