Horror Books Poem by david lessard

I am fed up with vampires,
and werewolves and the rest,
Anne Rice has had a change of heart -
Let's hope it's for the best.

Now if we can get Stephen King,
to write a slice of fiction,
without the gore and blood,
without the horror's friction.

And Dean Koontz too,
let's not forget him,
and his scary, gruesome pages,
But we know their books are
'money-in-the-bank' and
them's pretty damn good wages.

So don't look for a turnaround
too soon,
and a lovely work of art,
they'll still be creatures of the night
and many a goon,
before we see,
those devils part.

But I have had enough,
and with a voice of one -
I'll read them if there's
nothing else to read,
But otherwise...I'm done!
