Today's word is "Triskaidekaphobia" ... tris-kahy-dek-uh-FOH-bee-uh ... fear or a phobia concerning the number 13. (Dictionary.com)
Twelve
There are so many things to fear,
Black cats who stray too near,
Ladders leaning in your path,
Shadows in the aftermath.
These are bad enough you say,
But there is fear that lasts a day,
Triskaidekaphobia is one,
When the thirteenth Friday has begun.
I can't be bothered with these trifles,
As through true terrors I do rifle,
But I lean on God to keep me strong,
Out of harm's way, far from wrong.
