You must travel
Seven miles beyond
the place where the ground is level
Walk in circles for 10 feet
Ignoring every one you meet
To ward off evil, this you must complete
Listen near
Till you hear
A painted bird singing words
plain and clear
Take its place and sing its song
Getting every word wrong
Then evil is not long for this world
Cast your spell
Work it well
Every skeptic you must thoroughly compel
Then go home and go to sleep
knowing all of this will keep
and evil can only sit and weep
You mean my sage and garlic isn't enough anymore??
ReplyDeleteThese instructions are confusing. I just know I will mess something up --say--walk in circles for 9 feet, or listen to the wrong bird. What befalls me then??
it's this weird little song that was running thru my head. i have revised the words a few times. anyway, i dont know how to rhyme "garlic"
ReplyDeletei like the idea of evil sitting and weeping. it's how it should be.
