Ode To Zombies

Rising from the dead with a scent like rotting garbage Always a tad bit sideways limping on one leg Trailing through a small town leaving a lot of carnage For the taste of human brains you forever will beg The grunts and growls escaping from your mouth are buzzing through my mind I’m trying to figure out why you always create a crime The decaying skin across your body sheds and falls behind I don’t know why you fascinate me but to decipher that I’ll take my time Scarlet red and dripping from your mouth The blood drips down as if it’s from a faucet Head cocked crooked like a sound came from the south Dropping your hand you tell me just to toss it As we walk your structure falls apart Limbs falling like rain how can you not be in pain You’ve just lost your foot and now I’m pushing you in a cart

How cool this is, Devin, and you are through round one of Soup's big contest with this one! Congrats for that. Do you watch "The Walking Dead" I think it's on AMC. An awesome show.
