The Vampyre, Part II

The Door Slowly Creaked Open 
To Run I had the Notion
But Standing there was Obviously my Host, a Tall, Frail Odd looking Guy...
I Stammered and Stuttered and Managed to say, "Hi."
He Correctly and Politely said, "I Bid you Welcome..."
"Why have you Come?"
I explained, "I don't Really Know...
But here's how the Tale Goes..."
I was in the Village Drunk
As a Skunk 
And this Big Black Car Pulled Up 
So in I did Jump
And it Brought me to your House."
Then I said, "Don't ask me anymore Whys, Whens, Whos, Wheres or Hows..."
He said, "Okay, well Anywho 
I Brought Some Wine to you,"
The Wine, Will you have Some?"
He Continued, "I hope that it is to your Liking as Things Go."
"By the Way, Allow me to Introduce Myself, My Name is Prince Draco..."
I was Stunned and Blurted Out, The, The, The Wine Will be Fine..."
And on the Wine I did "Dine"."
Without Thinking 
I said, "Why are you not Drinking"
He Smiled and said, "I Never Drink Wine..."
I Stopped in Mid Swig
And said, "Ahhh Okay, I Dig."
I Decided to Ask him, "Who was the Strange "Grim Reaper Guy" Guy
With Big Staring Eyes?"
He looked at me and Sighed"
"Oh that's Just Boris"
To him we don't take Much Notice..."
Then he Went on to say,
"He's just my Chauffeur, my Butler/Valle."
I said "Okay, "He don't talk too much 
As such..."
But he comes at you with Stinky Heavy Touch."
Draco said at that,
"Yes, he's like that when he's Wearing his Black Hat"
"But Besides, Sometimes he talks too much."
He went on, "What Did Boris say this Time 
That would make you of him Shy?"
I said, He did Nothing 
That's the Thing
All the while me he did here Bring."
Draco said, "That Sounds very much like my Boris."
"You see, he's an Outsider and not really for us."
I Replied, "Well, I Guess that Boris could be Worse"
