A – Read the following poem, carefully.

*Witch goes shopping*


Witch rides off
Upon her broom
Finds a space to park it.
Takes a shiny shopping cart
Into the supermarket.

Smacks her lips and reads


The list of things she needs:
“Six bats’ wings
Worms in brine
Ears of toads
Eight or nine.
Slugs and bugs
Snake skins dried
Beetles’ eyes
Pickled, fried.”

Witch takes herself


From shelf to shelf
Cackling all the while.
Up and down and up and down and
In and out each aisle.
Out come tins and cartons
Tumbling to the floor.

“This,” says Witch, now all a-twitch


“Is a crazy store.
I CAN’T FIND A SINGLE THING
I AM LOOKING FOR!”
Lilian Moore
