Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Fight the Bite

Porphyria, a blood disease,

Causing light sensitivity,

Bad gums and pale skin like white cheese,

Is deemed a vampire malady.

Sometime. somewhere a vampire did

Come across my ancestor kind.

That vampire ran away and hid.

Folks saw that and kept that in mind.

And so today I still do hang

With folks, the message to be sent

To you who have a blood thirst fang,

You won't like my sulfur content.

Warding off vampires is my aim,

And veggie garlic is my name.
