Tituba

The famed Salem witch hunt began
When slave Tituba came to town.
The tales she told, as tales oft can,
Caused folks to get dirty and down.
Tituba sounded like a witch.
Confession was beat out of her.
On others Tituba did "snitch."
Lots of trials and hangings for sure.
Tituba was not hanged, instead
The Salem folk stuck her in jail,
Maybe afraid if she was dead,
Salem's future - a curse could trail.

From jail Tituba was set free.
She died in sixteen ninety three.
