Werezombies

The way you become a wolf man
Is if a wolf man takes a bite of you.
There’s something in the wolf man gland
That oozes in his drool.

The way that you become zombified
Is in a very similar way.
By zombie slobber you should be horrified,
And there’s nothing more to say.

So the question that I’d like to know,
And it’s keeping me up late.
What if a zombie tried to go
And pick up a wolf man for a date?

What if in the kiss good night
They each swapped a little spit?
She’d be a zombie with a wolf man bite,
And he would now do the zombie bit.

Are they now wolf men who move very slow,
Or just zombies with a lot of hair?
This is something that we need to know,
About this vacant hairy pair.

Don’t stare at them on the back roads and lanes,
Take pity on them won’t you please?
Now they are not only hungry hunting brains,
But they’re infested with a nest of fleas.

Awesome out-of-the-box stuff. Where everyone's writing this romantic prose about the wolfman falling in love, you're posing deep scientific quagmires, and their potentially ghoulish consequences.

A tale of opposites attracting. Descriptive and delightfully frightening. Fun fictional read, Tony. Very FUN!...I hadn't even heard of Hocking Hills when I wrote Nature Tale poem....I was only 17. Found it in the attic.....wanted to post it for fun. Take Care and have a great weekend. Gwendolen
