Scary-Funny

Many homes are getting ready

With a Halloween display 

For the trick-or-treaters shortly

Will be venturing their way.

It’s a “scary-funny” holiday,

My grandkids have been told 

And, along those lines, en route to school,

This sight we did behold -

A giant spider on a swing 

Suspended from a tree,

With 2 legs wrapped around the ropes,

Hilarious to me.

And also to my granddaughter,

Who’d scream if it were real,

But being “scary-funny,”

It had Halloween appeal.

Some decorations frighten

But I much prefer the kind

With some humor and some whimsy

And some younger kids in mind.
