Stopping By
(after Frost)
Whose limbs these are I think you know,
He lived down in the town below.
He’d not expect to find me here
Gnawing his flesh with such gusto.
While he still lived, down there so near,
He would have thought it strangely queer
To find he would a picnic make
For zombies, which plague made appear.
His disbelieving head he’d shake
And ask if it were some mistake.
For surely when two old friends meet
Their visit other forms should take?
This world is lovely, dark and sweet.
The town below is full of meat.
And I have many friends to eat.
And I have many friends to eat.
—John Cochrane
When zombies attacked his dear Jane,
Tarzan went nearly insane.
He put up a fight
but suffered a bite.
Now he tells her, “Me Tarzan. You braaains.”
—Lester Smith
When Sherlock encountered the Count,
counter to Watson’s account,
though Holmes saved the Empire,
he was turned to a vampire;
now he counts on his blood-bank discount.
—Ralph Faraday
