THE VEGAN VAMPIRE'S FATE

In moonlit nights, a vegan vampire pale,

With fangs that long for tofu's tender touch,

Pretentious pride, his deadly hidden veil.

He boasts of grains and greens with every tale,

Yet hungers for a crimson, gory clutch,

In moonlit nights, a vegan vampire pale.

His victims drawn, their essence he'd curtail,

But ethical convictions hold him such,

Pretentious pride, his deadly hidden veil.

No crimson nectar sates his thirsting trail,

He starves in shadows, weakened by too much,

In moonlit nights, a vegan vampire pale.

The taste of blood, a craving to assail,

Yet he denies, and so he's lost as such,

Pretentious pride, his deadly hidden veil.

In vain, he clings to principles so frail,

With every dusk, his fate becomes more clutch,

In moonlit nights, a vegan vampire pale,

Pretentious pride, his deadly hidden veil.
