A romance guide for certain circumstances.

A girl I once knew fell in love with a guy–
An unusual fellow indeed.
In fact, he was a vampire 200 years old
But for him she was willing to bleed.

But her veggies this girl simply would not partake;
No taters nor carrots nor peas.
She would not eat cabbage or lettuce or kale–
Just meat and ice cream, if you please.

Well her face got all blotchy and broke out in hives.
Her skin became kind of lumpy.
The vampire looked at her and shook his long hair
When he saw that her nose was so bumpy.

They went for a ride through the woods one dark night–
She hoped for a bite on the neck.
But the vampire she loved didn’t like what he saw–
On her cheek simply gave her a peck.

To understand this sad tale you don’t need a degree.
The moral is simple and true.
If you want your dear vampire to  bite your sweet neck
You must eat your vegetables, too.

    Ken, some people do need a degree of taste to eat their veggies. Too much meat, alcohol or tobacco is not good for the body. Thank you for reminding me! I really needed that advice.

    Cute! The perfect thing to hang on the refrigerator in a house with a teen-age daughter.

    The vampire fever is really affecting us without our knowing. I have the suspicion that even Shakespeare wasn’t spared. BTW nice poetry my friend.
