Junior

It's in his blood.

Little Junior Dracula

Desires to surmount

His family’s gothic legacy;

Someday he’ll surely Count

 

The little sucker works so hard

From moonrise to moonset

He stokes his natural appetites ~

He’ll earn that black cape yet

 

Junior Drac is expert

In “mirroric nonreflection”

And from his coffin, practices

His midnight resurrection

 

He keeps his canines sharp as spears

He’ll do just what it takes

To someday rule Bran Castle,

No matter what the stakes

I can hear you all groaning at this one - I couldn't help myself!

the witty, creative word play here is so pleasant and entertaining.. this one was intellectual fun!.. It teases with a playful tone, yet has deeper layers that tell a story.. well done girl.. had me smiling :)
