Todays Count Dracula
Count Dracula was terrifying until the seventies
When Sesame Street and Jim Henson turned him into a puppet
Gave him an intense love for math
And made him cuddly and adorable
Now when I hear Count Dracula I no longer think of Boris Karloff
Or Vincent Price or Alfred Hitchcock or the Twilight Zone
I think of math, which is not my favorite subject,
But I am no longer terrified or afraid in any way.
