Biting wit A monk stopped on a summer's morn To pick a daisy sprig And trampled on a mourning son Who'd just been at the dig. The boy jumped up to greet the friar And tripped on two left feet (Deformity a trial by fire) And said his name was Pete. Young Pete had hobbled through the glen To say his last goodbye But when he came to grave of kin, He gave a startled cry. Y'see Pete's dad had flown the coop And clawed his way out dead, A vampire bite the way out loop Eternal life instead. The monk put hand upon Pete's arm And smiled a murky grin, Then said to Pete, "I mean you harm"— Bit Pete's dad's next of kin.
