ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBOURS! - This poem is Dedicated to my Year 1 teacher, Mrs Austin. You may not remember me, but it's thanks to you that I discovered my love for poetry.

 
Zombies ate my neighbours!
They came in the Dead of night.
They started with the Chang family,
Followed by grumpy old Mr Barry,
At number 9.

Zombies ate my neighbours!
They gave Mary Parkens a fright.
I heard her give a blood curdling
Scream like a banshee, it sent a shiver
Running down my spine.

Zombies ate my neighbours!
I've locked myself inside.
They're peering back at me through the
Peephole, their eyes are so grotesquely
Yellow and wide.

I see their rancid, rotten flesh
peeling off of their hands as they
Bust down the door.


Zombies ate my neighbours!
Now they've come for me.
They are in my house, looking for the
Gravy. 

One of them has now taken a
Bite out of my arm, and has insulted
Me by saying that I'm,
"Not very tasty."

I've just about had it with these
Zombies, I've gone to my freezer
To retrieve a T-bone steak.
I once read that the way to kill
Zombies, is with a steak to the head.

I hold it out in front of them,
In an attempt to make a threat.
The Leader of the Zombies,
Laughed in my face and said,
"Silly girl. That's the wrong kind of
Steak! It seems that you have made a 
Fatal mistake."

Another chimed in,
"Yes. It's going to take more than
Raw meat, to return us to our
Original state."

Amused, the leader of the Zombies chuckled and
Said, "I'll tell you what, we won't eat you. Instead, we'll make You our pet."

With that, he fried up the steak and
Served it to me for dinner.
While all the other Zombies, gave me a
Hug and affectionate friendly pats on my
Head.

I'm not afraid of Zombies anymore,
They really are quite cute.
They love to sing and dance along,
While their Leader plays the flute.
