File Under: Things I've Been Scared By

I walked into the store today and saw a zombie there
With green detritus in her teeth and flowers in her hair.
Inquiring first about her health, I asked her one thing more,
Then tipped my hat to Zombie Girl and went on with my chores.

I walked into the bank today and saw a vampire there.
Drops of blood leaked from his fangs and gore was in his hair.
I introduced myself at once and asked him something grand.
He gladly answered, said 'good-bye', and left with cash in hand.

I went to Dairy Queen today and saw a werewolf there
With wildness in his bulging eyes and gobs and gobs of hair.
I bought us each a cone, then posed the question of the day.
He whispered soft into my ear and blithely walked away.

The question that I asked these three (if you'd like to be told):
I asked them all what frightened them, what made their blood run cold.
What monstrous thing could spook such beings, and activate their fears?
They each replied without a pause, "the thought of four more years."
