a poem about my older brothers, LOL

SPOOK HOUSE

my older brothers goaded me to jump

out of the moving spook house car

if I wanted to really see something

in a secluded realm neat and bizarre

they claimed they already had done so

and had snuck a gratifying adventure

they just badly wanted me to

trip up and win a head-to-toe suture

or maybe rid of me altogether

to get lost in the dangerous dark

to get run over or shocked into nether

on a circuit of high voltage spark

and then they wouldn't have me to

embarrass them, as I did.

a gullible dodo bird joke

LOL was just thinking of my two younger brothers that always wanted to hang out with the older boys. Sometimes they got in trouble.

I always told my kids to go to the first house they saw if a stranger tried to pick them up.
Denise's older sister pulled a dirty trick on her one day while Denise was walking home from school, Kelle ducked in her boyfriends car as they drove by having her boyfriend try to pick her up.
They thought this was hilarious as they watched Denise beat feet, poor Denise ran as fast as she could on those little legs till she got to the first house she saw.
