Vampire Etiquette

Vampires in the movies
Seem to very neatly suck.
If blood is to be seen, it’s on
The necks of those they’ve struck.

Yet every costumed Dracula
Has “blood” dripped on his face,
A situation vampires would
Perceive as a disgrace.

Tonight, as the undead come out
To honor Halloween,
Observe their faces – not a one
Will be blood-free and clean!

I once went to a Harry Potter opening, with dozens of people dressed as wizards. Made me feel slightly out of place. Very witty, this piece was - in regards to the number of fake vampires in a theater, it seems a golden opportunity for a real one to make his move!

Such an observation. Your perception's very keen. To notice how the undead on tv are neat and clean. Peace. :)
