I scared Dad with a good ghost story…by Rufuz

Poem Artwork

The lights went out at eight

Dad was scared already

Knowing what was forthcoming

A scary story told by me his fate…

 

He shivered and shook

While the story I read from a book

Was he always such a scaredy cat

He wouldn’t even let me off his lap…

 

We did sit through Earth Hour

Him shivering with fear

And me inwardly laughing so dear

Through the rest of the night

All dad did was sit on the couch & cower…J

Daddy shouldn't read that s**t, it'll rot his brain.

love Anita's comment! :)) If MY dog talked, I would keep all the lights off permanently in the hope that she wouldn't see me giving her the slip so as to get away from her complaining... A woofless Willow is plenty scary enough for me... :)) xx You confirm my thoughts exactly about the bungee jumping... glad I didn't know it was happening at the time ... K xx

Good for you, Rufie Boy! I think every time your Dad gets out of line, you should scare him with a good ghost story. I loved doing that when we were kids, and it's wonderful that you're carrying on the Ed family tradition.

OOh, I hate ghost stories; I usually end up having nightmares--especially if spiders are involved. BRRRR!! I HATES spiders!! Very cute write, Rufuz; well penned! BRAVO!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

One time mom and daddy went to see the movie "Jaws"; it scared daddy so bad he couldn't watch the rest of it; mom picked on him, called him a "fish 'fraider". LOL
