Moonlight Canter
Phinneas the stallion,
Was primed to race and leap,
Across the boundless Milky Way,
And plunge into the deep,
His master was a vampire lord,
The pale Hermanus Dent,
Who slept within a stony crypt,
In preference to a tent,
The lonely farm was millpond still,
With overhanging stars,
A sweeping sea of brilliancy,
From Beetlejuice to Mars,
Awake my stallion sure and true!
My consort in adventures!
I’m ready with two fangs to bite;
My nicely sharpened dentures!
They leapt into the crystal sky,
With starlight overbrimming,
The magic horse could fly of course,
But was no use at swimming,
They sped past lattice windows closed,
With sleeping children dreaming,
Away above the starlit woods,
Below Arcturus gleaming,
Now I would like to bite tonight,
A buxom maid in lingerie,
With bossoms large as cantaloupes,
And hair that gives a nice bouquet,
Phinneas was quick to think,
And made suggestion then and there,
To gallop leeward to the bay,
To find the girl with flaxen hair,
Her cleavage is a precipice!
Between two swollen mounds,
I heard it from the farmhand boy,
Who manages their hounds,
Hermanus Dent was galvanised,
And clicked his heels anon,
And dashed away towards the bay,
The maid to set upon,
He found her sleeping in the barn,
And asked that he might bite,
To which she said, despite some dread,
That it would be all right,
He put her onto Phinneas,
And galloped to the beach,
To have his morbid way with her,
As though he were a leech,
She swooned and moaned and softly groaned,
As two bright teeth went in,
Loosing down her flowing locks,
By casting off the pin,
My love, I say you’re ravishing,
Beneath your flowing tresses,
I wish I were the frilly lace,
Residing on your dresses!
You perfect fool for Cupid’s trap!
I am a werewolf hungry!
And I pronounce your sentence up,
For you are on my country!
She loosed a howl towards the moon,
And then transmogrified,
Into a beast, eight feet at least,
And several cubits wide,
Hermanus Dent was petrified,
And cowered to a whimper,
Before the werewolf, growling loud,
Consumed him for her dinner!
