THE NIGHTMARE:

A poem for this time of year:
 
THE NIGHTMARE:
As I stood by my window,
In the darkness of the night.
My eyes opened with amazement,
I'd had an awful fright.
 
Something flashed by my window,
Passed by so rapidly.
Flying on a broomstick,
Was a witch chuckling he, he, he.
 
She returned to my window,
Black cat in tow.
She said "I am the witch
Employed by Yahoo".
 
To see fair play done,
When blogs you do review.
Should you give bad critique,
I'll cast a spell on you.
 
I was flabergasted,
As the cat's eyes flashed like traffic lights.
The Yahoo Witch was having fun
As she cackled with delight.
 
As I peered nearer to obtain
A closer inspection.
Something was amiss,
You see it was my own reflection.
 
I went icy cold.
Void of all beauty and charm.
'Twas then I awoken from my nightmare
At the sound of my alarm.

      It's when one is living a nightmare is the time to be concerned. Thanks Pat for the visit.

    I'm sorry if I"m duplicating stuff. My computer has been acting weird and I can't tell if my comments are going through. Anyway - this poem is very clever and funny too. Have a great weekend
