Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

We Are Zombie

Zombies have feelings 
It's sad but so true
Our diets are different
We like eating you

We move rather slow
Yet you can't get away
We follow the bleeder
It is  the game we play

Our clothing is shabby
Yet we have Zombie style
To look really creepy
We'll go the extra mile

One of our problems
We have horrible breath
One of the side effects
When it comes to death

It's not really that bad
Us zombies rule the night
Best that you take a plane
Zombies never take flight

We cannot stay seated
Or follow commands
With that turbulence 
We may lose our hands

So down here on earth
We will hobble around
Moaning and groaning
Our unique zombie sound
