Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
This little piggy will become king,
And this little piggy shall beget a line of kings.
This little piggy shall fall by one not born
Of a woman's womb!
By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.

ReplyDeletethis made my day :) I am hearing the voice from one of Macbeth's three witches. Last weekend, we had a photoshoot and I had to pull off a wicked witch character. I should have read this before I went to the cemetery.
