Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 My Turn

Being Count Dracula you'd think

The wife would give me the night off

To have fun finding blood to drink.

But no, the wife at this did scoff,

And said other plans she had made,

So now I had to take my turn.

Not wanting to hear her tirade,

I gave in but did a slow burn,

That doing this was beneath me,

And hoped this night would be done soon.

As a vexed vampire I did be

Surrounded under the full moon.

It's a real pain having to do it,

Taking my turn  at bat baby sit.
