Dracula
A debonair man
handsome and sure,
he'll tantalize and tease
ready to please.
A sweet fair maiden,
lovely and pure
dressed to the nines,
but oh so demure.
Dracula knows
how to put her at ease
dance close, make her laugh
bow low, his manners
offer no reproach.
In secret whispers,
a tryst, he'll propose
his love,
though new
he'll swear, is true.
As the bell of the ball
you blush and protest
but tonight is special and
you've planned no regrets.
The clock tolls midnight
the party is over
what's wrong with a walk
and one kiss
especially under the moon's shadow.
But my dear, once is enough
don't fall for his bluff
for this dangerous man
will suck you dry.
Of blood so pure
his life, you'll assure
but dear, then you'll die
a virgin
on Halloween night!
