I am a Young Leader with a local Brownie pack. That many 7-10 year olds can be very frightening. This is how I feel about them sometimes.
I think I'm scared of my Brownies.
There should be a name for it
But because, I suspect,
I'm alone in my fear
No-one's created one. So I will
And I shall call it:
Browniephobia
I think you'd be scared too
If confronted with twenty-four
Charging young girls.
Two dozen expectant young faces,
All looking up to you. Gulp.
Then you'd get hit with
Browniephobia
I think you would be terrified
To see them attack as a pack.
Their weapon of choice? Felt. Tip. Pens.
You can't hide from the noise
Of marauding Brownies.
Oh, save me from my
Browniephobia
I think you believe they look so innocent,
Singing Brownie Bells at the end of the night.
But really they're stood there
Plotting our downfall.
The Brownies are going to take over the world!
Or it could just be paranoia caused by
Browniephobia!
