Pendle Witches

Pendle Witches

 

Pendle witches, come again,

To take revenge,

Charming and bewitching.

400 years waiting to avenge

The mockery of trials

That brought about their end,                           

When, at Lancaster Assizes,

Their death sentence was penned.

 

Now, scores will be settled.

Vengeance will be wreaked

On unsuspecting souls

By this awesome clique,

The barb, their chosen weapon,                       

To craft a victim’s shroud,

Dispensing vitriol, and wit,

Writ, and spoke, out loud.

◄ Have I Won?

A fun piece Steve - thank you ever so - not sure I need to gather in order to reek my vitriol, but it is good to feel sisterly support now and again.

And not one mention of Handbags Steve!! :-)

How much more refined to use the word as a weapon. I am sure a few fitting spells can be concocted. Frog, duck, donkey? which would you prefer to spend the weekend as? haha.

Love it. Very fitting. The 'witches of wolop' immortalised by your cunning pen. x

This is dedicated to the 'Witches of WOLOP'
They know who they are!
Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me
