🎄 By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks!

Wie es mir erzählt wurde,
als ich nur ein kleiner Cowboy war,
der in Bayern heranwuchs von meinem
schönen österreichischen Kindermädchen.
🎄 xox, a.
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.
