Kim Merryman Poet Clerihew

Barnabas Collins

"Dark Shadow's" Barnabas Collins,
Was guilty of vampire maulin's.
He was cursed by jealous witch, Angelique,
A cure for vampirism he did seek.

7/16/21
(For those who don't know, Dark Shadows was a gothic soap-opera that aired
 from 1966-1971. As a kid, I was crazy about it!)
