The Which Witch Tests

\nHer skirt was sucked off by the Hoover
\nAs she tried the parking manoeuvre
\nExamining witches
\nWere falling in stitches
\nSo felt that they ought to approve ‘er<\/p>\n
Her sister a witch from Jamaica
\nAt potions was clearly no faker
\nSaid she was “So slick wid
\nEach magical liquid”
\nThat no-one would e’er overtake ‘er<\/p>\n
Her panties were tatty and purple
\nExposed when her mount broke its curpel
\nThey show that this fairy
\nWas horribly hairy
\nSo she booked a hot waxy fur pull<\/p>\n
One test that they set in the booth
\nTo conjure a suit that would soothe
\nThe first would have vexed yer
\nIts terrible texture
\nWas rather more hair-shirt than smooth<\/p>\n
The prize for the best is a jacket
\nAnd only the cream will attack it
\nIt’s purple and orange
\nAnd ordered from Gorringe
\nThe only top shop that could hack-it<\/p>\n
When all the exams were well over
\nThey partied from Glasgow to Dover
\nThe terrible music
\nWould make even you sick
\nSo don’t think they’re sitting in clover!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nThe prompt was to write a poem in consistent meter using at least six of these
\nwords in rhyming positions<\/p>\n
texture manoeuvre
\nsolitude anxious
\nelement chaos
\npurple orange
\nsiren rhythm
\nmusic soothe
\nliquid zigzag
\ncomedy tragedy
\nrosary r\u00e9sum\u00e9
\ndiamond galaxy
\n\u00a0
\nHaving chosen to write a chain of Limericks I was slightly limited in which
\nwords I could pick and stick to the meter but I’ve fitted the underlined seven
\nin. In my (North London) accent all should be perfect rhymes.
