I went to bed last night hoping for sweet slumber <br />But a tiny little insect had totally got my number <br />As my eyes were about to close and sleep was just in reach <br />It began to buzz and buzz its nasty little speech <br /> <br />No sleep tonight, no sleep at all is the forecast that I write <br />I'm hungry, I need blood and it's you I'm gonna bite <br />I like to buzz, it's lots of fun, I love to be annoying <br />Knowing that your pleasant dreams I'm totally destroying <br /> <br />You attempt to swat me in the dark and only slap your face <br />In the darkness of the night I'm very hard to place <br />Wearily, so wearily you stumble to turn on the light <br />Yet still you can't see me, oh no no no no, although it's very bright <br /> <br />You return to bed, a wretched soul, perhaps I've gone away <br />But then you hear my little buzz, and know you're still my prey <br />I am the vampire of the night, and on your blood I'll feast <br />Gee I can cause some havoc for such a tiny little beast <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2010)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vampire-of-the-night-humour/
