Zombies As Heroes

The Zombies got together with our Dragon on one fall Day.
They said that they wanted to come over for Halloween to play.
At least, that’s what, the Zombies, to Dragon, definitely, did say.
But ulterior motives were set into motion, to Dragon’s dismay.

You see, they wanted to be famous, like Dragon, and save the day.
But with Dragon a Hero, no one called on them, ever, in that way.
So they locked Dragon up, quietly, while playing Hide and Go Seek.
Then, they ran off, to yes, find their fame in ways, so very unique.

When Dragon finally got out, he went to find dear old Grandpa Troll.
Grandpa Troll decided to help them with ideas for… each and every one.
As no one would stop running and listen, each time, they came into view.
So Grandpa Troll became a go between, and Dragon learned to help, too.

Terrorists were scared away when Zombies dressed up like 72 virgins.
Got to admit: That’s definitely a new interpretation and a new version.
What can I say! Next time, beware, of what strangers promise… to you…
If it sounds too good to be true… Well, I’d of run, too! Wouldn’t you?

A Zombie lawyer came to court, Hey, he was a lawyer before, he died.
When he came over, ground his teeth, and then sat down, by their side.
His clients took guilty pleas, were scared straight or whimpered and cried.
I think the Zombie was hungry, so perhaps they were being most wise.

Then surrounding a school… They stopped a shooter from getting thru.
The shooter shot at the Zombies, being scared! Not at the kids! It’s true!
And the FBI found, they scared people from a house, without a firefight.
After all, who is more scary, the police… or Zombies… day or night…

Yep, in strange ways… they were usually effective, in most fights.
ISIS always took flight, as Zombies came running waving the ISIS flag.
Worried that becoming Zombies would soon also be their new plight… 
No one in ISIS waited to find out, if that would definitely, become right.

Some were even signed for a new TV series… Yep! Just what we needed! 
Another Zombie show… Is being written… This time, a reality show!
It’ll be called ‘Zombie Heros’… They’re sure you’ll be smitten!
And, of course, hopefully… not bitten… Happy Halloween!
