The Witch's Broom

The witch's broom was so magic that that when it was sprinkled with the witch's magic spell, it started to sweep up all by itself, all over the house and garden as well. So magic that it didn't need a dustpan ... it's dust was so magic that it blew through the air in clouds. The witch's broom was so magic that it could sweep up a whole house in seconds ... so magic that it made the dirty rug clean and swept up the fur where the kitten had been. In three seconds flat, the mantelpiece no longer was covered in soot from the chimneypot ... the witch's magic broom sweeped up rather a lot. The witch's broom was so magic that it's handle could turn and spin on it's own ... so magic, in fact, that it could stand upside down ... the witch's broom swept up the litter all over town. So magic that it left a trail of moondust wherever it had been cleaning. The witch's broom was so magic that it played a musical tune ... and could sing ... and dance with the mop and with the spoon. The witch's broom was the most magical broom because it swept all by itself in every room. The witch's broom was the most magic of all, it swept in the living room, the kitchen and the hall. The witch's broom was so magic that it swept away four trees ... and before you knew it ... the broom had swept away the fleas. The witch's broom was magic ... it's magic glistened like the Sun ... which was very dazzling, or course, when the witch needed to get her housework done. Before you knew it ... the broom had gone right through it, it cleaned the roof as well.
