Chillers and Thrillers

When I was young,
I'd watch the late, late movie
sitting on the couch
getting all cozy,
one time the movie
was "Psycho" with
the shower scene,
it scared me so much,
I didn't shower for a month,
then there was the one
called "Poltergeist,"
with the clown doll
under the bed,
after that I gave away
my dolls because I
didn't want to end up dead,
but the movie that
still haunts me today
and will probably never go away,
is the one that is 
most realistic, by the way,
if by chance I'm swimming
and hear the theme from "Jaws,"
this lady is going to go ballistic
and swim like the dickens to shore!

Glad I could make you chuckle! Now that I'm older I don't care for horror movies as much; give me a light hearted comedy anytime!:)
