Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Vincents Vampire

Van Gogh had rescued a starving vampire
Why was he starving I hear you enquire
The answer I think will instil disbelief
When I say that vampire had no pointy teeth

The vampire became Vincent’s most willing aide
Although of course he only worked in the shade
One night he crept from the tomb where he hid
Grabbed a cold beer and he pulled back the lid

Hey Vince, do you fancy a cool pint of beer
Van Gogh shook his head… ‘No fangs, I’ve got one ear.’

Rico Leffanta October 10, 2021 at 11:22 AM At last we know what happened to Phyllis Diller's Fang! Terry Flood October 10, 2021 at 11:31 AM Had to look that up. Discovered that husband ‘Fang’ was fictional and, I quote, ‘so was her hair and most of her face.’ Nice people: journalists… not!

L Milton Hankins October 10, 2021 at 9:51 AM OMGGGGG...fantastic. I didn't see that one coming, but it is masterful, Terry. Jan Allison October 10, 2021 at 5:11 PM i once did a clerihew about van gogh , he is great fodder for a fun poem:-) hugs jan xx Terry Flood October 10, 2021 at 11:23 AM Thanks Milt. There’s an ancient joke about someone offering Van Gogh a cigarette, to which he replies, ‘No thanks, I’ve got one ear.’ I just played around with it. Terry
