Poem: Turn into a Rock?

A Quick story For My Kids

The witch named Jo lived in the forest,
She liked to make her place it bright for days or she would cast a spell on the trees to make it dark. 
She didn't bother anyone because she lived so deep in the forest. 

So when you go and pick berries you don't even see the witch.
She's busy being alone. 
She changes frogs into logs or bats into cats, to finish a project around her home or to have a new friend to roam.

Sometimes when she is tired of flying on her broom she would change a reindeer into a bicycle. And go off track bike to ride over rocks and sticks. 

Older son asked: 
Does she turn the rock into a wolf and then he eats her? 

The Story Behind the Poem

We were sitting at the kitchen table and my son said: "Mom, tell us a story." We had just been talking about how my mom lives alone, if she's lonely, and how she keeps busy. That conversation inspired this tale.
