Vampire Boy by Sevan Cash

Art by Shaine Salonga

There once was a boy

Who lived down in the caves

It was by the seashore

And he loved to watch the waves

He dared not come out

At least, not in the day

His skin would burn in the sun

He’d become a Vampire Puree

Yes, he was a vampire

A shy vampire boy

But if you ever got to know him

He wouldn’t act so coy

His only friends

Were a bat and a rat

And they’d squeak to him

And, of course, he’d squeak back

But sometimes

He got quite lonely

Down there in his cave

He longed for somebody who wouldn’t run away

But he knows it's just a dream

They all run away

And he still hasn’t found his somebody

To this day
