GOBLIN CAKE

Have you tried a goblin cake?

It is difficult to make!

Start by mixing powdered frog,

eye of newt, and hair of hog.

Add a dash of fish’s fin,

stirring quickly with your chin.

Chill the mixture over night,

til’ it turns a ghostly white.

Next, you’ll pour it in a dish,

spin it twice, and make a wish.

Cover gently with a broom,

then you’ll tiptoe from the room.

Check it in a day or so.

If it’s finished, you will know!

When you go to have a snack

it will try to bite you back!
