Witch rides offUpon her broomFinds a spaceTo park it.Takes a shiny shopping cartInto the supermarket.Smacks her lips and readsThe list of thing she needs:

'Six bats' wingsWorms in brineEars of toadsEight or nine.Slugs and bugsSnake skins driedBuzzard innardsPickled, fried.'

Witch takes herself

From shelf to shelf

Cackling all the while.

Up and down and up and down and

In and out each aisle.

Out come cans and cartons

Tumbling to the floor.

'Is a crazy store.

I can't find a single thing

I am looking for! '
