zombie girl poem

My Texas momma, Wiley, is holding a poetry contest for fun with the family. I am blessed to be a part of this family, so I wrote a heart-felt poem for it, and it is called...

Texas Zombie Girl Goes To Michigan
By Penny White

`
A sweet Texas zombie girl, she never was sated,
Was called by a zombie friend, totally elated.

`
“Michigan, come here, and see you will,
“many slow northern brains, you get your fill!”

`
She rolled up her body bag and holey knapsack,
Hid in a chicken truck and fed in the back.

`
Texas, Louisana, Mississippi, Tennessee,
“Adventure for food good for zombie like me!”

`
Farther from Texas, closer to Mich’,
She suddenly noticed a problem she couldn’t dismiss.

`
Slowly she watched, section by section,
Body parts, sloughing off…was there a connection?

`
First went a finger, then plunk a toe,
With a clink on the floor went the ring from her nose.

`
Then through Kentucky, the land of blue grass,
To her dismay, she lost a piece of her…upper thigh.

`
There she sat sad, tears flowin’ down,
When into her lap plopped her right crown.

`
Suddenly she gasped and covered her eyes,
Her shirt fell flat making her a boy size.

`
Zombie girl stood and stared over the side,
Michigan soon…had to decide.

`
Frozen brains, ear soup, fish finger lollys,
Leggy popsicles…oh gosh, oh golly.

`
Could she take it for the sake of tummy,
Falling apart to eat stuff so yummy?

`
Then she looked down, and saw the horrid toll,
She was going to Michigan with her knees in a bowl.

`
That zombie girl screeched, that zombie girl screamed,
That zombie girl jumped from her chickeny dream.

`
Grabbing her foot that snapped off with her leap,
She yanked a driver from the seat of a Jeep.

`
“Me go to Texas, you stay in the back,
“I need you here for a mid-travel snack!”

`
A few hours later, jeep owner devoured,
Zombie girl looked up at an old water tower.

`
“Welcome To Texas! Best Place To Be!”
Zombie girl danced in her seat with glee.

`
Home of cactus, sand and spiders,
Tasty coyotes, jackrabbits and hikers.

`
“Leave you no Texas, me stay forever!
Michigan no good! Too cold weather!”

`
“Snow and zombie no way can mix,
The best place is desert for this zombie chick.”

`
Driving into the sunset of a clear desert sky,
Zombie girl smiled with her one lip and sighed.

`
“Hungry I am, hungry always be,
But Texas is it for girl zombie like me.”
