The one-legged Witch Puppet

Megan the witch
Has been with me
For over twenty years
She knows my past
And my present
My laughter, my tears

Tonight
I held her
By her strings
She played peek-a-boo with me
And other such things

Yet i sensed
Something was not quite right
With poor Meg
When i suddenly
Realised
That she now has one leg

Hidden beneath
Her beautiful
Ragged clothes
She is also quite
Charming
Apart perhaps, from her nose

Megan has a wonderful
very beautiful right leg
I have nothing against it you see
The trouble is
For poor Meg
Is neither has she!
