A Few (Bad :-P ) "Forever Knight" Limericks By Naia Zifu There once was a vamp named Vachon Who was known not for brains nor for brawn In fact, he was quite lazy But he drove the girls crazy With his long hair that was just clip-on There was a poor lass known as Urs Who felt her mortal life was a curse Said she wished to be dead Ended up vamped instead But we're glad she did-- Hello, cute nurse! A general from ancient Rome Tried to give his kid a warm, safe home She became his vamp-mother Wanted to be his lover But he couldn't-- they shared a genome! There once was a carouche named Screed Who thought he did the world a good deed 'Cause he ate rats and mice But he never thought twice That exterminators disagreed ©2004 Naia Zifu (though the quality makes me wonder if I should claim them :-P ), all rights reserved. These were the result of a "character limerick" challenge on the FORKNI-L list. All of them were written late at night, while I was loopy. Combine that with my already-bad poetry skills, and you'll maybe understand why they're so painful to read :-P . Fun to write, though. . .
