Analysis of Which is witch?

Vice versa 2001 (England)



Something wicked this way comes
Witch, of course you must eschew
Ignore the pricking of the thumbs
To thine own self be true

I had no wish to shame her
It was never in dispute
I capered in her lady chamber
Lascivious pleasing of her lute

Give her all the love she's due
On her blessings you may gorge
Come together,and as you do
Cry God for Harry the kingdom and saint George

Resist not the temptation
To have your kebab shished
ti's a consummation
Devoutly to be wished

You may love or you may hate this
But please don't be unkind
Love is ever in the heart
Hate's a state of mind!

I stand you to a cock fight
But my ego may be harmed
I'd goad you to a battle of wits
But I fear you are unarmed!
