Polar Bear's Stroll In The Park

It was LA after dark
Nathan strolled through a park
watching all the dogs bark
these spoiled groomed pooches
covered in their owners' smooches
had never seen a polar bear
so they browned up their underwear.

"Mitsy! how could you?"
shrieked Mrs. Goldbloom
whose face was full of gloom
the newspaper she held
was poor Mitsy's doom.

Yipping and yelping the dogs were dragged home
all hopes gone for a vacation in Rome
no running after cats
by the Colosseum dome
The catacombs would be safe
for cat and comb.

Oblivious to the damage he had done
to spoiled rich canines' fun
Nathan walked on in the moonlight
when he saw someone flying a kite
and suddenly a bat flew down
turning into a man
in a dressing gown.

The man in the gown
was a vamp about town
so was the young woman with the kite
but the man was looking for a bite
for he was a vamp vampire
who swore off Turkish Delight.

He bit the girl on the neck
causing her to shout, "What the heck?..."
as all parkgoers hit the deck
Nathan flew into action
a magnificent spec
he grabbed a lady's parousel
and stabbed the vampire's heart
sending him to Hell.

The vampire's last words were,
"Don't people know it never rains in LA?
This cursed umbrella has brought my decay
forever gone my ability to make hay
life's not fair- that's all I can say."
