The vampire was courteous, sedate, and sweet
With thin cold smile and graveside manners neat
And for many a one-night stand ladies did it greet

Those veteran warrior’s eyes, the things they’ve seen
Dragons red and dragons green
Those scarred old ears, the things they’ve heard
Many a king’s honeyed lying word
Those still-strong hands, a blade shall wield still
Until they bury him up on Heroes’ Hill

They smashed everything, in the usual adventurers’ way
And plundered even the clothes from the dying
Between demands to tell where hidden away all treasure lay
Then ate them—free meals!—and left the bones lying
As their hunger for ever more forbade them to stay
