The goat sucker
I am no dog with mange.
An alien I am not.
I roam over a wide range.
How many goats have you got?
Blood I love to drink.

Those who catch a glimpse of me,
one thing they all said,
I was a short little thing,
with eyes that glowed red.
Running down my back
a row of sharp spikes.
They say I was lizard-like
with teeth so pearly white.
I’ll leave a carcass behind,
and you’ll ask, “What happened here?”
A mystery for your mind,
that fills your heart with fear.
