Will Hitched Witches Reign in the Ditches?
LONDON - Alex Sanders (a male witch) and Maxine Morris were married recently. Now he is the King and she the Queen of some 30,000 witches in England.
Two witches in London (tie this if you can!)
Have sort of bewitched the whole scene
By marrying up – he’s the King of the clan.
And the lady of course is the Queen.
In costume they make their constituents laugh
So hard that each witch is in stitches,
Just trying to separate wheat from the chaff –
And figure out which witch which witch is!
-BEN FOSTER.
