Insufficient Explanation

By Tony Brown

Wolf-were: a wolf
who turns into a man
at the new moon.  

Vampoor:
an undead being
who sucks wallets.

Ghist: the spirit of a departed person
whose moans boil questions down
to their essence…

some myths,
said the noted expert,
were obviously meant to be forgotten.

  May I be the first pedant to point out that ‘were’ actually means ‘man’, so a ‘were-man’ is a ‘man-man’.

  There, I feel better for that. 🙂

  I like it, nonetheless.

    Ah! Had no idea. Well, based on the popular conception…Hm. Gotta think about this one. Do I change it to reflect the correct meaning or leave it to catch the popular but incorrect colloquial viewpoint?

    Thanks for this…
