Terrified of Scarecrows
he jumped down and chased me in the dark
You are a maniac! I yelled. This is no lark!
He is just a scarecrow, not a mean shark.
Response from sister who was not chased in the dark.
I have had dreams of this scarecrow ever since.
Terrified by this nightmare, said my cousin Vince.
I understand I say, staying as close I can to the fence.
Clowns and scarecrows scare me to death I say to Vince.
The scarecrow climbs down and runs at me with a mean grin.
I try to find my cousins, my mom, my grandma, my dad and my twin.
Sorry! The scarecrow says. You should never have let me in….
Worse nightmare of my life, said my tiny cousin scared Finn.
