A vampire named Drack asked a witch,
"D'you think I'd be able to hitch
a lift on your broom,
if you have the room
my life it would surely enrich."
The witch thought this odd, so replied
"I think that your motive you hide,
I know you would try
to suck my neck dry
if I were to give you a ride."
"Oh no ma'am, that's not what I mean
your blood wouldn't suit me - it's green,
I will behave well
so don't cast a spell
and I'll treat you just like a queen."
"Vampire, I think you are bluffing,
my blood you soon would be quaffing,
and you I don't trust
to curb your sick lust,
so sod off back to your coffin."

A story of unrequited love
As the witch gave the vampire a shove
Begone ,said she
I don't believe thee
As she flew into the dark night above
I love these and can't have enough of them

@responsiveme Thank you Arundhati - you're pretty good at them yourself. A clever reply in limerick form - very well done.

@responsiveme Oh lor'! Perhaps I'll write one about a love affair between them - or better yet - why don't you?

Hey , that vampire sounded very gentlemanly, better behavior than most in this world, what a mean witch.

@jaboUK Maybe, but he was a nice vampire, I could tell.

@crossbones27 Ha, perhaps he was just being gentlemanly in order to get his wicked way

@sueznewz2 Thanks Sue - I wasn't sure if the myLot police would consider it swearing, but decided to risk it. It gives a good 'punch' to the end of the poem, doesn't it?

Ha, the old quarrel betwixt the vampire and the witch. One casheir asked a manager why witches ride brooms and the answer was because vacuums are too heavy. Not sure if that was made up or an old one. I've not heard it before that I can recall.
Do kids in other countries go door to door for treats, Janet? I'm guessing not.

@MarshaMusselman I've not heard the one about the vacuum cleaner - it's good.
We never get trick or treaters in my area, but I believe it's catching on a bit elsewhere.

The cunning vampire did present a case fair
Alas! He was still left in despair
A just decree forthwith
Wicked is the witch
Can a wicked and a cunning ever be fair?
