I Was Afraid of That

Things that scare me:
1. Monsters under the bed.
2. Goblins in my head.
3. Headlines I have read.
4. Appointments that I dread.
5. That thing I never said.
6. Encounters with the dead.
7. Moldy-looking bread.
8. Orson's Rosebud sled.
9. Alligators named Fred.
10. So much from A to Zed.
