Eight-line Poems

The Lad, Vlad

The Lad, Vlad

At last a day for Vlad the Evader,
like the Impaler but greater,
the very opposite of raider;
he arrives, but later and later,
having taken the long route
round each and every delay,
for questions he gives not a hoot,
it’s Walk Around Things Day today!
