The Zombie Poet (a parody)

(read out loud to the melody of Adele’s Someone Like You)


They said that it was
“Just a scratch”
I thought,
“Just a scratch”
Doesn’t sound too bad.
But then...

but then...

2 weeks later

The stench surrounds me
like a fuzzy slanket, the stench
of death...
of blood...
of feces.
A sliver of my former human self.

Shambling to a beat
playing only in my head.
Shuffle, shuffle, drag, drag
shuffle, shuffle, drag, drag
Damn. There goes my my forearm.
