The Moany Lisa


From the pages of Lisa’s Special Book of Hidden Spells:

Theys sez I looks likes a cartoon, they do. Theys sez I haves a big noze.
Theys sez I eatz cobwebs and frogspawns and prickly leaves. Cackle cackle cackle cough cough cough. Aziff! Aziff I’ds eats such things.

Noze, I uses them in me cooooking.

Well, not so quite.

Noze.

I uses them in me cauldrun!

I uses them to cast me spellz!

I eatz them who sez I looks likes a cartoon. I eatz them who sez I haves a big noze. Aziff!

I invites them in. I invites them to get warm by me fireside. I make them cozy. And that’s hows they repay me. They comments on me noze.

I feeds them. I feeds them well. I feeds them cobwebs and frogspawns from me cauldrun. I turns them into me dinner as they sleep. Cackle cackle cackle cough cough cough.

Some of thems I turns into orniments for me shelves. The horrible ones are me dinner though, thems who comments on me noze.

I don’t get many nice ones. Nice ones who don’t sez I looks likes a cartoon. Aziff!

So usually I’m very full. Cackle cackle cackle cough cough cough. I’ll need to looooze some weight soon! Aziff!

Cackle cackle cackle cackle cackle cackle cackle cough cough cough…

More whiney than moany if you ask me, but best not comment on her nose. As if!!!

      Thanks, Andro.
      When the characters start sometimes they just want to go on and on, don’t they? I actually enjoyed creating this one!

      Wise choice, Nancy, although she likes nice people. Possibly on toast, but we’ll leave that thought!

    Crap. Now I feel s.o.r.r.y. for the poor dear, big noze and everything else. Aziff! Aziff.
    Maybe I’ll stop in for tea and bring her some, ahem, large tweeeeeezers. 😉
    Most entertaining, Tom. Nothing short of the perfect wee witch.

      That’s just what she wants, I think, Tess. She could do with some tweezers, I suppose. Pleased you liked Moany!
