Look, medusa, you just aren't grasping the seriousness of the situation here! We have to stop those pesky witches using the shell as a boat :rolleyes:

 

Agreed! - And when you build a house which has a chimney, don't forget to make sure that there is a protruding ledge (and please make it wide) by the chimney so that a passing witch can, if she is feeling a bit tired, rest there and isn't tempted to go down your chimney to find somewhere comfortable.

 

Witches are serious business! - You don't want to cross them.

 

The last witches trial where I grew up was in 1914. She was convicted, but she only got 8 days at hard labour.:hihi:

I am so happy to have found this! My very, very, very English great-aunt (born 1884) told me that I must always do this, and at age 69 I still do. My adult sons have never really believed that this isn't a figment of my imagination, so I have sent them the poem.

And of course we're not crazy!
