my brew’s
better than your brew
yours tastes
just like mildew stew
what's in
this, snot-gobble gone bad?
cockroach slime, spoiled crawdad?
i'm bleeping tired
of “sing-song” chants
now's the time for witchy rants
bone broth base, with tons of spice
I dare you
taste it, slurp it twice
well by jiggers got to say
many folks on whom to prey
spells
and curses I excel
make their nights a living hell
I’m a good witch I’ve been told
tonight is over, brew’s stone cold
powers are fading, fading fast
same time next year .. die is cast
A braggart's gonna do what a braggart's gonna do,
ReplyDeletebut I bet more than a bat's wing blue
Your brew's better than the braggart's stew!
Loved this, Helen! I'm still laughing. :>)

Oh my goodness, Helen, you had me laughing out loud with the mildew stew and snot-gobble! Yuck! You can always be depended upon to come up with something splendid. And yes, you are a good witch, not a sandwich!
ReplyDeleteThis is delectable, spooky and perfect for Halloween, Helen! Gorgeously done 💝💝
ReplyDeleteHelen, first I love your spooky image, really sets the stage for battle of the witches. I like how the battle only lasts during the Halloween season, then "Halloween's over, brew’s stone cold."
ReplyDeleteNow that my stomach has settled from the Braggart's stew, I'm able to say this is one of your very best. You are so bloomin' cute and witty. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThis girst made me smile, then actually chuckle! So wonderful! Well written Helen. Loved the conversational vehicle.
ReplyDeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteBubble, bubble, toil and trouble! The perfect witches brew you have concocted here, Helen. I love the presentation too!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun Helen! I love this and can hear the cackle 🤣
ReplyDeleteMade me smile, Helen. Gawd but I hate those people! Your rhyme is perfect for the message, and may your hexes never wane.
ReplyDeleteVery clever and playful and yet it drives the point home so well - had me cackling in my seat. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you won this battle!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, Helen! This was SO good! Could you hear me cackling with glee!
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
ReplyDeleteAlmost sounds like you're a great hex brew maker!
Loved that mildew stew...🦇
Hugs,
Mariette
Luv your chilling dialogue.. Nice one

ReplyDeleteI always enjoy a bit of fun at a braggarts expense.
ReplyDeleteyes all braggarts crawl back into your hole,
