Scary-Funny
Many homes are getting ready
With a Halloween display
For the trick-or-treaters shortly
Will be venturing their way.
It’s a “scary-funny” holiday,
My grandkids have been told
And, along those lines, en route to school,
This sight we did behold -
A giant spider on a swing
Suspended from a tree,
With 2 legs wrapped around the ropes,
Hilarious to me.
And also to my granddaughter,
Who’d scream if it were real,
But being “scary-funny,”
It had Halloween appeal.
Some decorations frighten
But I much prefer the kind
With some humor and some whimsy
And some younger kids in mind.
