Zombie Vampire Alien Poem

Zombie, vampires, and
aliens, all of them sticking
something into our business —
terrifying, yes,
but at least they aren’t flying
into our buildings, right?

If they show up,
we know how to kill them.
There are prescribed methods:
germs for the aliens,
a blow to the head for the zombies,
and vampires get the cross and the thrust to the heart —
if we could find the guys we really fear
we could try all of those.

Of course, there are also those dreaded
unknown enemies who might not
easily succumb to such things:

we’ll have to make another movie or two
for self-defense
if they show up.
