NaPoWriMo #2 - Acronym

Hmmm... I'm not sure I'm happy with this one...

Rare Witch Project

Crocodile's eyeball, testicle of a leprechaun,
fungus from between a giant's toes...

Mix in your Grandmother's pot
dusty from 50 years of neglect.

...frog urine, bat's blood,
the stomach contents of a trout...

Raise the temperature,
but don't let it boil.

...vulture's feather, a human tooth,
the big toe of a dwarf...

Stir clockwise thrice,
then reverse.

...a four-leaf clover, unicorn tears,
a rodent carcass from the side of the road...

Let it simmer, then cool.
It's almost done.

...three drops of scum,
from a fish tank uncleaned for a year.

Perfect, now take a sip.
Don't worry, gagging is normal.
A draught to bring happiness
is bitter by necessity.
