It’s Monday morning and Halloween.
You’ve called in sick and we’ve slept in.
Rolled in blankets, warm pink links,
muffled crows call through the walls
wordless candycorns heralding day.

Kitchen-bound, terry-robed, I scare
us up scrambled eggs; sourdough
toast to go with fresh-made cuppajoe.

Scare up a poem of exactly 44 words, including some form of the word scare.

        The link didn’t give a name–at least not to me. Just a larger version of the picture.
