Question: Have you ever been to a phobia reunion!?
(something light)

Phobia Reunion

Agora hates big halls, maybe afternoon tea!.
Xeno says ok but only if I know them!.
Of course Acro insists on first floor only
while Claustro suggests the sundeck instead!.

Round and round these phobias debate
for a hidden malady afflicts them all!.
No not a Photo or a Homo or even a Triskaideka!.
Its pure and simple, Commitment is here!.

Yes, no one wants to commit to the reunion
even Dr!. Phil turned down the opportunity
to arbitrate this get together!. Said it was way
too many phobias to handle on only one show!

Besides, he has his own phobia…!.ego!

Too funny!. Wonder who the Thumbs Down phobiac is!?

As to spiders--those who weave a web of words are my favorite creatures!.

EDIT: I googled 'fear of poetry!.' It's a real phobia: 'metrophobia!.' That sounds like my fear of the subway (metro)!. Anyway, it proves you can't write poetry without meter!. (I fear parking meters, too)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hah!.!.!.that last line is funny!. This is a very creative and clever poem!. I very much enjoyed this!. I used to have Apiphobia!. It was so bad that I nearly jumped from a moving car when a wasp flew in!. I've pretty much cured myself and learned to respect them for what they do for us!. Not that you really wanted to know that ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Answer to first stanza!.!.!.dump all of 'em in a bottomless lake! No fear of water in any of these faux-pa-bias!
Love this kind of humor! Good onyer! next time, relate the phobias to ancient Greeks and Romans!.!.!.after all, the names are certainly close enough!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

A group of educated men who call themselves benign
Are gathered round a table to give little death a name!.
And phobias are like little death to those who bear their edge,
Between them and society there manifests a wedge!.

Your phobia reunion sounds WAY to much like Thanksgiving at my mom's house!.!.!.!.

But you may come up with a Pulitzer Prize in discovering the Teedeephobia!.!.!.one suffered by many!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I probably have a few phobias, but I don't think about them enough to know what they are!.

Maybe confrontation!. I don't like confrontation!. Maybe that's my phobia!.

Funny stuff my friend, as long as you keep in on the first floor, away from the elevator!.

*I saw a program a long time ago where the lady had a fear of aluminum foil!.!.!.What's that about!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Visions of a Friend's revival with theme song Smelly Cats popped into my head when read the title!. I don't know why and that scares me!.

Light stuff is healthy!.

Has no one seen my bathmo!?
I'm hoping he'll stay away for a while!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Love it!
I'm scared of sharks!.!.!.does that count!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is brilliant!.!.!.I loved it!. Funny, clever and well written, too!.

I have no phobia's myself
My fear of flying - well
That's just commonsense!.

If God had wanted us to fly
He'd have given us feather wings
So we could soar up in the sky
Like other bird-type things!.
But, he did not!.
Which will explain
Why I get clammy skin
And feel I will be sick
If in an aeroplane
I am forced to sit!.

And since England is an island!.!.!.!.that's pretty often!

Now, arachnaphobia what's that all about!? Insey-winsey spiders - in the UK no poisonous ones will you find and yet my daughters and one of my sons, act as if they are in the presence of a black widow spider and the devil incarnate all rolled into one!. Strange!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
