Prompt for today is to write a poem about a mythical person or creature doing something unusual – or at least something that seems unusual in relation to that person/creature. For example, what does Hercules do when he loses a sock in the dryer? If a mermaid wants to pick up rock-climbing as a hobby, how does she do that? What happens when a mountain troll makes pancakes?
Here’s my take:
A Zombie Affaire
Zack, the zombie finally got a date
With none other than a mermaid
–
As excited Zack was,
He checked himself in mirror
And to his surprise,
He screamed in horror!
–
He booked himself a spa,
For he wanted to look his best,
Some manicure, some pedi,
And facial to attest
–
For hours Zack, the zombie,
Got himself groomed
Some rubbing, some scrubbing
Some enticing perfume
–
And here he was,
Looking perfect for the date,
But to his utter dismay,
Came these words from mermaid
–
“You aren’t the one I chose to date!”
I thought you were a zombie,
but you are a gorgeous mate,
I’m sorry buddy, to cancel our date”
–
Poor Zack, the Zombie changed himself
And now he couldn’t even recognize himself!
