A Spider, a Mouse, a Snake

A spider can scare a lady
    A mouse can scare one too
  A snake can scare a homeowner
    who finds one in his shoe 

  Some kids are scared of dogs
    others fear a skunk
  even more than rats or possums ~
    All this is what I've thunk

Ugh, the first 3 scare me to death. Maybe the snake could eat the mouse who hopefully already ate the spider, or do mice it spiders? Funny one again. I love your writing. I "thunk" you are smart and clever.

Even I am afraid of thunk. It makes me wonder if someone has fallen or a beautiful crystal curio has broken. Very nice penning. Enjoyed it , Gershon!

My 'thunking process' show signs of dementia, I'm afraid. I'm afraid. I'm afraid. I'm afraid... ~ Scare D. Cat
