There once was a girl named Shaan
who was enchanted by a ball of yarn
twas green, purple and blue,
made by an evil shrew
who had been locked away in a barn

If such a thing exists, human nature makes it more amenable for black magic to last. Yes, yes – the ambiguity in that sentence is quite deliberate.
