Last year some naughty witches stole a list of my visitors and played some tricks on them.
Well, THEY’RE BACK!
Witches’ Fly By
2010
Part 1
Those witches are convening
To make a lengthy queue,
Of Bloggers they will visit
BEWARE! it could be you!
All Susans, Sues and Suzys,
Your names are on their list,
Better put away your treasures
I know you get my gist.
Sarah and Laurie are worried,
They hide their Quimper stash,
And hope those naughty witches,
Get sick on horned toad hash!
They sip a few “bonetinis”,
And have some witchy spats
Then prepare to toilet paper,
Back Porch Musing’s and Brooklyn Pats!
They’ll send some toady pizza,
To Stephanie, Bill and Patti
Rett, Joanne and Marsha,
Hide, as rotten eggs go splattie!
Hey Carols, Lynns and Lindas,
Watch out Natasha too,
They are dropping off a cauldron
Of slimy warthog stew.
If you think their junkets over
You really are quite green,
They hope to visit all the friends
Who hang out with Kathleen!
So Shelia sing your sweet songs
BJ, hide your Dunkin’ D’s,
This trip continues next time,
Come visit if you please!

Think of me when you sip on those bonetinis!

Natasha.
Those mischievous witches are making the rounds. I guess I best lock up my best Quimper. ;-)

I have to say that dining in your home must be the best! Your tables are always set to the nines and your meals look yummy! I love your energy!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen! Thanks for stopping by! No I didn't get an email from you:-( I have had some issues not getting emails since hotmail changed to putting things in folders. but I looked through and didn't find anything. Try again: anita-faraboverubies@live.com. This is such a lovely table! Those little hats are adorable. It's so nice to see these colors...it really stands out! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, how wonderful and too cute! Love your setting and your witches are to die for!

Heavens, Kathleen, how do you do it! You have great recipes, you garden, your pictures are lovely, your tables gorgeous AND you are a poet! A creatively, funny poet to boot! What a girl! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's happened to Lynn at Happier Than A Pig ?
ReplyDeleteI noticed she'd been missing a day or so and tried to visit and her blog is closed. ??
Do you know anything? She had this Pumpkin party planned and I thought everything was going good..wonder what happened? I don't know how to get thru to her....
Oh YUMMY! I LOVE spaghetti squash and use it all the time in place of pasta! I was just telling Nan (in Alaska) about that earlier today! Your little witches are so cute. And you are a wonderful poet!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolute perfection!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for letting me know about the Word Verification...I wasn't sure how it worked...just thought blogger was picking on me!
I added a short post about it, too!
Thanks again!
smiles!
This was adorable Kathleen! I had to run so I didn't get "TP'd"...lol! I love the skeleton table ..those skeleton cupcakes that I sent you the recipe for, would be perfect for this setting. I love spaghetti squash!
ReplyDeleteI gave a victim impact statement on Friday (we have to do one every two years...sigh) and today, to cheer myself up, I went upstate with my daughter to go apple and pumpkin picking! It was a beautiful day today!
Thanks for your congrats and good wishes...we are all very excited to know #2 is a girl!
You know, I have decided I like dried, store bought pasta better than homemade! I will just buy and enjoy it that way. :)
