Fear Monsters and Run

Fear Monsters and Run On that mountain was the great cavern all the boys spoke of it in the local tavern Great fear of its darkness and ghostly sound tales tall recited as the beers came around Once Dallas went in with hair dark as night came out next day hair was ghostly white Blubbering like a scared little frightened child talking of monsters big, fierce and wild On a dare I took a huge bet I would explore it and not even fret Saturday at high noon I did enter into black darkness as cold as winter Deeper in I cautiously did go expecting monsters to soon show First startled by huge exiting bats next came fleeing dark little rats A few turns and I did soon dimly see yellow eyes ahead looking back at me Soon I turned and did rapidly run back to the light of the noonday sun Outside I quickly paid my lost bet never found out what it was yet But this I learned and now admit that day's fear I'll not ever forget A man must face his darkest fear even when people may laugh and jeer Just do so with this thought in mind fear monsters and that's what you'll find.... 04-21-2014 aka Robert Lindley aka Tyr
