Sarah had never married
Not that she’d make a bad wife
But with her strange adventures
She did not think she suited married life
She fed the witch’s familiars
As their owners flew across the sky
They appreciated her kind care
And left gifts when they stopped by
Each month she left a change of clothes
Draped over a naked, exhausted frame
Once recovered, the werewolf gave thanks
And left her a good share of game
She had long chats with a vampire
and although she never invited him inside
When the daylight found him
She loaned him an umbrella to hide
Her parents had told her, when she’d asked
That babies come from the cabbage patch
So it was not that strange to her
When she heard a cry from the field out back
The baby was not quite right, however.
He’d clearly grown from the wrong crop
His head was a bit big, his complexion odd
But he needed care and she’d give it, full stop
Sarah bundled up the newborn babe
She took him home and put him to bed
She cared for and loved him all her days
Her little boy with a pumpkin head
