The Worstest One

The Worstest One The strongest, most powerful worstest fear of all Is the one where what you fear is actually nothing at all The fear that is generated out of thin air Is the one of which you must be the most beware For if you don’t know what it is, that leaves you trembling weak How can you overcome it, you don’t know where it sleeps Your enemy is invisible, elusive and adept At not allowing you, to know where it is kept You search in every corner, every nook and cranny But not a trace do you find, for it is far too canny You cannot get a single glimpse, but you certainly feel its power It has you where it wants you, in a perpetual cower There must be a way of conquering this evil freak Of stopping it from causing all the havoc that it wreaks And if you are so lucky as to find out what it is Can you please, please tell me, you really are a whiz (Sydney, Australia - 2003) Alessandra Liverani
