It Is So Scary

It is so scary said the frightened little girl.
She had blonde hair and not one curl.
I am horrified I said with a generous wink.
When I saw the baby panda Dracula with cheeks of pink.

No one can scare me, though many have tried.
I have ten grandchildren, so I’ve been on the hayride.
I’ve fallen off and been stuck under the tractor wheel.
Scared is something I neither do nor feel.

I probably should not have used that term - my great grandmother's 2 year old child actually got killed that way once upon a time.

Oh, not me. I get scared so easily. I avoid haunted houses like the plague...and I used to live in one. Well, at least our ghosts were friendly!

We have ghosts in the house and on the grounds, but we always have in almost every house we have lived. We are used to them - they have never frightened us except one in one house and it has now been condemned.
