Ready For a Good Fright Night

nothing frightens me more
especially when I watch the show in black and white
remembering the terror I felt the first time I saw them

winged monkeys
from the Wizard of Oz
somehow every bit as frightening as the witch
and we all know how scary that dame was

I flip through the channels trying to find it
Wizard of Oz
they are all in technicolor now
I moan my sadness
I was ready for a really good fright
