Premiere Contest WinnerA Bloodcurdling Moment

One dark eerie Halloween night,
Count Dracula gave me a fright.
His pointed teeth gleamed,
I bolted and screamed,
When he asked me out for a bite!

Wow! Thank you for the honour of first place, Tania. Once I'd chosen my theme, I tried to think of a witty idiomatic last line and went from there. I'm really glad you found it amusing.

Hi Jack Thank you for the complimentary comment. I often use an idiom to end limericks and then work backwards!
