Victory For One
by lee ann mcclure
In the darkness of a quiet night
The monstrous beast did prowl
The full moon in the sky was bright
As it let out a frightening howl
It's big white teeth so sharp and long
A pointed snout on a silver face
Hairy creature, large and strong
Snarling aggressively in this place
What it faced now, it could eat
There was nowhere for poor Jim to hide
he faced a werewolf he could not beat
In this dark hole so big and wide
Lurking in the corner was this stranger
But for his trousers, Jim stood there bare
Did he not realise he was in danger?
Stuck within this beast's dark lair
Jim was an easy meal for him tonight
The beast would devour avidly but slowly
Squatting under the marvellous moonlight
Drinking his blood and eating his flesh wholly
The beast didn't know that in front of him
That Jim was not just an ordinary man
Out of the dark into the light so dim
Emerged a vampire with a plan
Must put to sleep this demon in his midst
Thus eliminating his competition
In this life he just had to subsist
Think of himself, this his own admission
No room in this land for beasts to share
Their species were enemies to the end
Could not co-habit, there would be despair
Impossible for them to both befriend
Face to face, each empowered within
Knowing one of them had to go
As one will die, the other will win
Who that will be, I do not know...
