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!)

Compared to today's horror shows, this one was really tame. Thank you for your comment, John!

I loved that show too and felt sorry for the "good" vampire Barnabas. Good Limerick. God Bless, JB

I said, “ooh” when I saw the title. Used to watch as a kid and rediscovered as a grownup.
