How The Zombs Lost Their Heads
In a town where the sun dared not shine,
Where shadows danced and the air turned divine,
The zombs, oh the zombs, with their drippy old grins,
Shambled through alleyways, their chaos begins.
Haphazardly roaming, with decaying delight,
Their fingers all crooked, their clothes ragged and white,
They perfected the art of the moan and the groan,
With gnarly old teeth that were chipped to the bone.
Dear villagers quivered, on rooftops they crammed,
For the zombs, who most certainly, were not well-manned.
With eyes like the depths of old coal mines at night,
And bellies that grumbled for brains: what a fright!
But hark! One bold night, under neon-lit skies,
A plan was concocted—oh what a surprise!
A parade with the zombies, a dance of the dead,
Invited to frolic, but who knew what lay ahead?
The bangers, the mashers, the clinking of cans,
All lured the zombs with their charming, loose plans.
“Come join us!” they beckoned, “Leave your graves for a spell,
We’ve got booze brewed with garlic; it’s virtually swell!”
So, the zombs, in their ignorance, followed with glee,
With no thought in their heads, or, oh, could it be three?
They tumbled through traps, like the fools that they were,
As the villagers chuckled, whispering, “Surely, we’ll stir!”
First the dandy old zomb with a quartz-filled old hat,
Tumbled into a fountain—splash, what a spat!
His head, it popped off, like a cork from a wine,
“Oops!” shouted the crowd, “Oh, isn’t this fine?”
Then came the sweet lady, with curls made of doom,
She slipped on banana peels, went splat with a boom!
And her noggin rolled off, like a globe on a floor,
“Oh, we’re having such fun—more heads to explore!”
And soon, it became a marionette show,
As heads bounced like rubber, putting on quite the glow.
“Oh look! There goes Peter, with his jolly red grin,
And Clara’s got gumdrops stuck under her chin!”
With limbs flailing wildly, and heads in a spree,
What once were just monsters now danced with glee.
Onlookers guffawed, with delight and with mirth,
“Who knew losing your head could bring such new worth?”
And so the night carried on, under moons that would mock,
As zombs without heads learned to dance and to clock.
Their bodies, unbothered, now twirled free as kites,
In a world where the laughter eclipsed all their plights.
So heed now this tale of the whimsical dread,
How the zombs lost their heads, and found joy instead.
For in losing your senses, in folly you’ll find,
A freedom unbounded—leave the past far behind!
