A Zombie Holiday

“It’s the end of October time for vacation,”
said Mr. Graveyard Zombie, “it’s been a long duration
since we last went on a haunt across the nation,
and what should be our final destination?”
Replied Mrs. Zombie without any hesitation,
“I’m sure I know the perfect location;
back to the hood and haunt the next generation;
for it is they who gave us a life of vexation,
and this to be their consolation
for it’s we who are cursed with eternal damnation.”

Rhoda Tripp Date: 1/6/2018 11:22:00 PM This is a very fun read, John. Cute as all get out. Lol. Login to Reply John Gondolf Date: 1/7/2018 2:50:00 PM I wrote this in about 15 minutes. There are over 5,000 words ending in 'tion' to rhyme; you could go on and on without running out of rhymes. The downside is all are multi-syllable so if you are counting syllables it makes it difficult.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 10/27/2017 1:22:00 PM I loved your 'back to the hood' phrase in your fun entry John. Best of luck in the contest. : ) Login to Reply John Gondolf Date: 10/27/2017 1:36:00 PM Thank you, Connie, I glad you enjoyed it. John

Kim Rodrigues Date: 10/25/2017 10:15:00 PM This is great! GL in contest! Login to Reply John Gondolf Date: 10/26/2017 6:23:00 AM Thank you, Kim, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure if it is scary enough or has enough of a Halloween theme but it was fun to write.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/25/2017 7:20:00 PM Oh, that is GOOD work, John. Not so scary but very clever!! (are you a Walking Dead fan like me?) Login to Reply John Gondolf Date: 10/25/2017 7:48:00 PM Thanks, Andrea. Actually I’m not a big fan of horror shows, perhaps if I watched Walking Dead it might be more scary. My Halloween theme is not very strong either but it was a fun write. I hope everyone enjoys reading it.
