The Strange Case of the Fat Vampyre Society

They've survived through all of the ages;
they've even been banished from hell.
They exist just to feed,
because they have but one need,
they're Vampyres, as legends do tell.

With powers, supernatural
and a capacity for evil that's pure;
they're a horrible sight,
as they roam through the night,
for it's daylight they cannot endure.

Their wake completely devastates,
'til dawn they deal from a "marked deck";
a sub-human race,
with no guilt, not a trace...
they're at ease, while they feed from your neck.

There's one place on this entire planet
where the Vampyre is opposite in ways;
Alaska's where they're at,
they're lazy, slow, and fat;
for they feed and sleep both, for thirty days.

Thirty days do they go in hibernation,
after thirty nights of feeding off blood,
they're far from the "norm",
of the Vampyre form,
they resemble that guy, Elmer Fudd !

So, there's a safe place in Alaska
where this Vampyre lore does take a "turn"...
after they've had their fill,
they're real easy to kill,
seems that their species may have to adjourn.

You are REALLY....

...way too kind. I was thinking how Alaska has a month of day...and then a month of night; I really could've gone either way, and made it "scary"...or "funny". It would be a little disheartening to know that there were Vampyres feeding for 30 nights, straight ! Anyhoo... Write On ! #{:>{)}@==== docmaverick.
