The Ravenous Witch

the ravenous witch

famished with greed

tummied and toothed

in scoops could she eat

 

pickles and pockles

and piggy trough trays

gorging, gullooging

and munching for days

 

she went picking parcels

and morsels of stuff

jiggleberries, hockleberries

but never enough

 

apples and hopples

pebbles and pears

the horribliest fruit

even one covered in hairs

 

eating and eating

the witch ate a lot

gobbling and goffling

then on Saturday – POP

Yes, good children's poem, I'd say, with Roald Dahl influences. Check out The Dirigible Balloon https://dirigibleballoon.org/
