Post by bunniefuu »

parsley I like Rosemary and

basil bay leaf is nice too and Dill is

very

useful in fact they're all very

nice well almost

all there are some bad herbs like

Belladonna she's a witch there was quite

a to-do when she appeared in the herb

garden everything turned out all right

in the end but there was plenty of

excitement while it lasted if you like

I'll show you what happened oh I'm sorry

I forgot to say the magic password it

must be all this talk of witches

herous that's better hello parsley I

have a feeling parsley knows there a

witch

sweeping up the leaves and tidy in the

lawn ah young varant it's no good

trying to tell you there's a witch just

behind behind

done one of her magic changes even her

best friend wouldn't recognize her if

she had a best friend which I doubt if

tricks drink up ah maybe you're right

Rosemary I am tall and willowy though my

manner may seem cold I really have a

heart of

gold come basil help me with the

weeds I am s basil the king of the herbs

fishing but when there is any hard work

to be done you'll notice I'm generally

missing basil come back at once coming

poor old woman with no roof over my head

head bless my soul all I ask is for

night just one night and I'll be wending

my way again one night will be more than

enough

repay you for your kindness for I'm only

a poor old lady without a thing in the

world but perhaps I could tempt you both

parsley what why thank you jing good

idea she's trying to make them drink

some of her magic Brew again stop

her good boy he's done it again done it

again you don't mean to say he's done it

before I do sir basil he did the self

same thing to me he did knocked it over

aord a drop past me lips parley what's

the meaning of

this if you forgive an old lady asking

mom me poor old eyes aren't what they

used to be but is there something over

there which is worrying him watch out

parsley can't see anything oh dear she's

turned him into a weed bless my soul

where's he got to I think he ran away

kind sir perhaps he knew he'd done wrong

what's this weed doing here bay leaf I

thought you were supposed to be doing

the weeding I can't understand it ma'am

ago take it away at

once oh you have

up well take him away and put him on the

rubbber sheep he won't bother us again

hour and now kind sir basil sweet lady

your time to give a poor old woman a

little simple

pleasure Pana is my

name I'm the deadly nightshade flower

I shall never be

content till all the herbs are in my

power ah good riddance to bad rubbish

there's Dill fast asleep dreaming about

Bones by the look of it I don't suppose

people used to plant Dill to keep away

witches in the old days they used to

plant Dill to keep away witches Dill

I forgot he can't help he's been turned

into a weed parley try tickling his

nose that's the idea go on have another

try oh dear Dill's much too fast asleep

I expect it's that

bone he won't wake up while he's

dreaming about that

perhaps you can blow it

away

harder he's done it he's blown it away

witch see off D she's through

there after him

the mess she's

Dill careful with that broom it's a

magic one a pile of bones for dill what
