Subject: Limericks

This is a little late, because the joint authors just returned from a
week-long cottage vacation. This - er - poem was born of the boredom of
highway driving. All lapses in rhyme, metre, and sense can be blamed on too
much hard cider:-)


"There was a young vampire named Nick
Whose cranium was exceedingly thick.
He got hit with a bomb,
Which he survived with aplomb,
Good thing he's dense as a brick.

There was a young coroner named Nat,
Whose love life was awfully flat.
While working one night,
Arrived a dead Knight,
And up on her table he sat.

"You're dead!" she did say,
Though it didn't look quite that way.
Then he ran for the blood,
Which unleashed a flood
of anguish and guilt and dismay.

To lovely young Nat he did speak,
Of his angst-ridden unlife so bleak.
She promised to help him
Though sometimes wanted to belt him,
A cure for vamp'rism she did seek.

But then, in the loft one dark night,
They found they were in a sad plight.
Both were depressed,
And at far from their best,
And thought to solve their woes with his bite.

Then in came Lacroix with a stake,
And an ending 'twould seem he did make.
But the fans gave a cry,
"We can't let them DIE!
Our fan fic will give them a break."

Actually, seeing this on the screen makes it seem even odder than it did
with a large glass of Strongbow in hand...

"Eternal nights too short,
How quickly melt away,
With all the love we shared once,
Forever in a Day."
