Hairy and Scary

17/1/2012

0 Comments

 
Hairy and Scary and funnier than hell
   Don't go a ringin' that frightening bell
Monsters and maidens and scientists too
   Cheap sicko movies bind us like glue
How can one help but love that corn syrup
   In buckets and red is how they do pour it
Lucky we are to have tales such as these
   Regardless of quality or content of cheese
A moment of pleasure mixed in with some fear
   So many memories which we hold near and dear
Few and far is the distance they come
   There for a flash and then they are done

AHHHHHH!!

Don't scare me like that
   You and your mask made me jump out of my hat!

A heart rate increase of at least two fold
   I would have not thought you would be so bold
Appreciate I can a good hearty scare
   There's no possible way for one to prepare
That's what makes scares a thing to be great
   There is no real danger just the fun we create

This is not speaking of real life times
   Not about the bad with no reason or rhyme
Of strangers who fall upon with ill intent
   Then you many know what true fear is meant
If you close family comes under some threat
   There is no fear like that, on that you can bet
If you have some dark shame that could come expose
   I hope fear like this thou never does know
These real worries need not keep one afraid
   In fearing daily they have to much power paid

To conquer our fears can defines a human
   We all get the chances in our short life spans
Lets keep fear and fun mixed up together
   Perhaps this makes life a little bit better

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
