A scary but humorous look at the monsters of 2009, 2010, 2011 ... 2023, 2024 |
The Ouija The Ouija Board, with lights down low, we thought it just a silly game. The planchette moved from spot to spot as the letters - words became ... "It was a dark and eerie night" so all the scary tales begin to set the stage for Halloween; a visit from the Great Pumpkin. This year there is a scary twist. It seems the horrors are all real as politicians and Wall Street combine to play "Let's Make A Deal". Creaking noises from the market, as prices sag like Spanish moss, is money gushing down the drain as our savings take the loss. No longer do we need to fear the dreaded "bump in the night." It's just the sound of investors as their confidence takes flight. The tearing, chomping sound you hear isn't monster's teeth gnashing. It's big banks eating little banks falling prey to value slashing. The nightmare isn't Freddie Krueger it's been renamed 'Freddie Mac.' When Jason wields his cost-cutting knife it now ends up in our back. So this Halloween beware the knock, play it cool, keep your composure, or the trick may be on you as someone serves you with foreclosure. The board filled us with such a fright - we didn't sleep at all that night! Notes This is a poetry entry for "Invalid Item" Line count: 32 Thank you for stopping by and reading my words.
