Yesterday was a great day,  
Except for one minor hitch. 
I'm now up to my neck in gunk. 
I'm trapped in this slimy ditch. 
Let this be a lesson to you,  
Never cross a vindictive witch.  
 
The witch had returned from the beauty salon.  
And asked me to go to the store. 
I grabbed my coat and keys,  
But as I was heading for the door,  
I made the off-hand comment,  
"I liked your hair better before."
