Alchemy!

Come gather all countrymen

From far and near 

I'll tell ye (!) a story ye might want to hear

There once was a lady 

Whose ears had been told

That magic could turn certain things in to gold

Now said lady had apples 

In bags, bowls and sink

So to find her some magic she followed this link

She picked and she washed

And she covered in water

To the sighs of her ever despairing daughter

Next she boiled all the apples and hung from a spoon

And slowly let drip by the light of the moon.

Well the next day came round

But the spell not yet done

She added some sugar and juice of this one

And well she was waiting for sugar to melt

She made up some reindeer

And hearts with some felt 

The pan boiled away

Wafting smells up their noses

But still not complete

She crocheted some roses

After some time

Some boiling and skimming

And jars at the ready to welcome their filling 

The magic complete

As in centuries old

The apples and sugar

Turned into GOLD!

So tootle me garters 

And riddle me ree

That was the tale of my AL - CHE -MYYYYYYYYY!
