White Magic
Teardrop wrapped in silken paper
strong enough to make a demon cry:
rub it on your doors, your chimney,
wear a single clove around your neck.
Ghosts and vampires shrink in terror,
spells and curses fail to do their harm,
Werewolves turn and flee its power;
when garlic's in the garden, all goes well.
