A Poem Inspired by Hocus Pocus
Winnie, Mary, and Sarah
The Sanderson sisters three
How they love to scare ya
Each and every Halloween since good ole ‘93
Oh what we wouldn’t give
For someone to light the Black Flame candle
To break up this monotony in which we now live
Sometimes quarantine is just too boring to handle
Maybe Winnie will grace us all with a song
Or Mary will entertain us with her crazy eyes
Or even better Sarah will throw a party and invite us to come along
Before all three of them die (again)
