Visibly Puzzled
A frail,
gray bearded vampire
sat under a tree,
his sharpened canines ground
together in exasperation.
His young student left without him,
to conquer the world,
he scratched his head,
visibly puzzled.
How could the young be so evil,
and how could they be so cruel?
No honor entered the dishonorable student,
he struck the teacher, from behind,
ripped and clawed at him angrily,
he blew the teacher away with one breath,
visibly puzzled, exasperated,
he clenched his fists so tightly,
that his nails ate away at his palms.
But he could not defend the honor of being a teacher,
because the student he taught was much too strong.
