What did I miss?
We know how but where does Time go?
Was it another Samhain dream
Or were you really here?
Did we ever light a candle?
Did I see you at my table?
Was your place lovingly set?
Was there a fire? What else
Did I miss?
I miss you now like you were never here
This Coven should have a Caterer & a Cook
& a wait staff would be nice
A guest should be met
A table should be set
& a drink served & shared
But the Butler & Hierophant hardly has time to oversee
The Gardener & The Magician bless the keys
Let alone lick a stamp & Ret’s Messengers
Are already out on a mission to bring
Both Punk Rock & the ampersand back
In one fell swoop
Lofty goals for such a lil’ colossus
Says Sylvia with her point that
The Coven Keeper & Cleaner’s busy enough
With bees in the red greenhouse & Bug's
Eyein’ me down for a hug on the rug
& me kitchen bitchin’ ain’t keeping up
To Master Chef’s maestro snuff
Timing rice & tenderloin &
May I top off that drink if you please
Timers timers eat in ten minutes meat’s 120º
& timing’s so obviously not my thing
Grilling & guarding & timelording on the clock
A clock! A clock! Time on a clock! Who’s
Ever Heard of such a thing?
The Librarian keeps more than nooks on the shelf
Our Scribe’s a Smithy forging links & hooks
For the Photographer’s dogs authoring books
In a collar the Hunter looks & looks
On a chain the Poet doubles as doormat
Best placed for dealing with crooks
You know, papers & passwords
& spells & wards and such
On the edges & thresholds of the things we cast
Don’tcha wish We were paid by the hat?
Ha! Don’tcha wish We were paid by the cat?
Forget to feed them and yet
They still seem to love you somehow
With that loving yellow look
Because they know they can’t eat you
’til you’re dead

What did I miss?
Witch, what was said?
We know how yet where does Time go?
Was it another Samhain dream
Or was I really there?
Were the candles ever lit?
Did you see me at the fire?
What about The Faire?
Were there tables set? What else
Did We miss?
The trick as Witch
Is to work Magic & not disappear
The trick as Host
Is to be at your own party
Witchies Witchies
What did I miss?
Please help me remember
Next Welcoming
Next time next time
We know where but who will we be?
Did I see you? Did you see me?
