The princess and the witch

The witch hated the princess
And the princess hated the witch
The witch stewed foul-smelling brew 
And left it steaming through her beckoning window
The princess warbled songs about princes and frogs
And smiled in delight as the witch squirmed and groaned
The witch magicked her broom to fly into her chambers
And spook her awake when she was fast asleep
The princess shone light through her bright stained glass window
So the witch's room was lit with perpetual sun
The witch left bowls of lizards on the princess's doorstep
And the princess would eat them hiding under her bed
The princess wrote stories about rainbows and justice
And the witch would devour them each night by a candle
The witch would send handfuls of thyme and of bloodflower
And the princess would press them and hang them on her wall
The princess sent fabrics with holes and with cobwebs
And the witch pricked her fingers turning them to a gown
The princess and the witch spent so many years fighting
They could never take husbands, just too very busy
The princess and the witch even moved in together
So they could prove their strength by enduring the company
The princess and the witch each hated each other
And you could see it in the way their eyes twitched at each other
The princess and the witch were sworn mortal enemies
And they warred so much no one could keep them apart
