There lived a lady ghast
A ghoul of ill repute
Who was thought to be rather cute
But hidden behind lace and lies
Her true self shone through disguise.
A girl more akin to the fallen
Would spend her evening calling
Wolfmen to join her for tea
Vampires to come and see
An opera of earthly delights
With tales of princesses and knights
But one night this girl of rotting soul
Encountered a boy who was whole
A creature of pure forlorn feeling
Who spent his night time stealing
Dreams of light and color
From a dreaming 'nother.
The ghastly girl decided to save
The poor 'nother from the wave
Of sweet and charming courting
So she prepared to start sorting
A way and plot for his demise
Her grand and woeful surprise
But when the wolfs tore him to a shred
And the vamps caused the rolling of his head
The ghastly girl found herself distraught
For the 'nother had a lesson to be taught
Though her dreams were stolen 'way
It was the only path for them to see the light of day.
This made the ghastly girl sad indeed
For in her malicious rage she could not read
The pairing that lived between the two
Like a nurse and a victim of the flu
They lived for one and the one the other
Him the man, and her the 'nother.
The ghastly girl still lives on to this day
But in the nightly hours she does not play
No, the vampire and wolfmen now just weep
For her self-imposed penance is quite steep
She spends her night delivering the words
That are sent between distant and longing love birds.
