A Vampire in Oz

poem by: Antoinette Pringle
Written on Feb 23, 2020

A storm was near on the moonlit night 
As the Vampire set out in search of fright 
On swift wings he flew in the form of a bat
Till he came across a man wearing a 
Silver hat.  Good evening said the vampire 
with a grin, now in the form of a man 
And as if without sin. Hi there said 
The man wearing the silver hat
there's a storm coming in no time
For a chat.  "This i promise will be very 
Fast."  The Vampire sunk his teeth in the 
Man at last.  The vampire suddenly 
Lost his grin for he didn't know the 
man was made of tin.  "Pleased to 
Meet you.  I am a tin man you see 
On my way to the wizard to get a 
Heart in me.  Come along and get 
a soul."  The vampire said I am 
immortal what madness to unfold.
"Ahh but what if you were slayed
without a soul you would no longer
Exist an eternal hole."  The vampire 
stopped and thought for a moment
Then said lets the wizard an make 
a atonement.
