Don't Feed The Zombies

by Jersey D Gibson

They just wants your brains,
your tasty, tasty brains.
(is that too much to ask?)

They don't worry about cholesterol,
and they don't mind your clothes.
(really, they just want a snack)

Lumbering around, hardly a sound,
they'll be your bestest friends.
(just don't mind the smell)

So what your next door neighbor is screaming,
he never returned your lawnmower, anyhow.
(they promise not to tell)

Here comes Ned, the mailman,
with his arm dangling from his side.
(he just climbed over the wall)

Here they come to greet you warmly,
they want to have you for dinner.
(perhaps you should go to the mall?)

Re: Your Brains by Jonathon Coulton

Your poem reminded me of the above song (it's a link). That's a wonderful thing.

Hah!!! I love this -a perfect afternoon laugh...though there are grim echoes of suburbia in there, having lived in one of those communities where the only way you find your house is to hit the garage door opener and see which one opens!!! Those people -the zombies can have them!

I'll second what Daniel said twice.

Zombies. They're more real than most people want to believe, don't you think? Look out, Jerz...one of them might be a zombed-out poet comin' round the corner. God this is great!
