This new inductee went on the attack
by stabbing the poor devil right in the back.
Rehabilitation, we fear, is not going well
when his blood runs cold even in Hell!

--

Captain Ahab found his Moby Dick
but indiscretion made him sick
and for this choice he'll have to pay
in bringing home the catch of the day!

--

The dawn is breaking up our happy home
and this gypsy blood will no longer roam.
I saw the sunrise in her sunken eyes
and it caught my little vampyr by surprise!

--

From outside this window you stop and stare
at my silent determination to avoid your glare
and stripped of all dignity it's hard to declare
I'm the only mannequin here who is totally bare!

--

Earth, they say, was a peculiar place
and this planet was the home to the human race.
Their meaning of life was fast and loose
and based on the wisdom of Dr. Seuss!
