There was an old lady who lived in the woods
She had potions and spells, and all kinds of goods
To people who knew here, she was sweet as can be
But townsfolk were frightened of what they couldn't see

They knew of a witch in the woods that's for sure
But had never been told that she was so pure
The mayor of town, he got up a brigade 
Of townsfolk who were tired of being afraid

With torches and pitchforks they arrived at her door
And asked her to leave, get out, and still more!
She was taken aback, and stepped into her place 
The townsfolk marched in, so fearsome to face

The menacing glow of the torch in their eye
Made her fearful and scared, and wondering why
But just at this time, the mayor called halt
For in his left hand, he was holding a pot

"Tears of happiness" was what was labelled inside
They mayor stood still, his eyes were so wide
He looked around slowly, and saw all the things
There were potions of luck, and magical rings

Scrolls and enchantments and magical tomes
Filled up the walls of this witches home
His eyes had been opened, and he called to the town
"Get rid of your pitchforks, and come gather roun'"

They looked at the wares, with wonder and awe
Such wonderful things that everyone saw
Potions of love, and happiness and joy
And even the occasional magical toy

By the end of the day, the witch sat in her home
The walls were now bare, the shelves sat alone
For the townsfolk had bought her every last treat 
And she was talk of the town, for being so sweet ^_^
