A Dead Bulimic Walking
People Make Me Sick

I was a good human but then I got bit
And now I’m a zombie, completely legit
Before I was dead I was way underweight
I always would vomit whatever I ate
But now I’m a zombie who’ll never be fat
Still watching my weight, I’m a stickler for that
I do avoid chubbies, they go to my hips
My weakness however, those soft tender lips
This disorder’s an issue whenever I sup
So even with “finger foods,” I will throw up
Although I’ll show mercy when some of them beg
It’s still gonna cost them an arm or a leg
I met a new neighbor who calls himself, “Dwight”
I’m having him over for “dinner” tonight
He asked about wine so I said, “Bring a red”
(A white is too sweet when you’re already dead)
I hid my appearance, I fooled him, no doubt
And after I’m finished I’ll vomit him out
I like Germans, Italians, Americans too
But those hot spicy Mexicans, boy do I spew
Whatever my neighbor was, he gave me gas
Although I’m a zombie I’m not without class
Tho my body’s evolving, my preference remains
His muscles were fine, but I still prefer brains

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
