The Witches Couch

G’day, gather ‘round as I have a tale to unfold of a strange mysterious land where we talk quick and a little odd, in a place called Australia. There’s claws and feet, pies and wings and things that squelch and things that squeak, with the occasional roving colossal goldfish, who likes a nibble on whoever’s near. So, hang onto your tentacles and thongs, as we welcome A.K.A. The Squid, a bloomin cracker of a kid. On an Aussie adventure of self-discovery, finding out his family’s full of witchery and that his couch is more of a pet, than just a place to rest-ya bum!
