Vlad

He didn’t like flogging.
He didn’t like nailing.
He never did bother
To punish with jailing.
He didn’t have hobbies.
He seldom went sailing.
His singular love
Was the act of impaling.

 

Side Effects

You might feel some involuntary jerking,
But that just means the medicine is working.
But if you notice rampant inflammation,
Would you prefer a casket or cremation?
