A Sonnet For Becoming A Zombie

Venomous poison runs all through my veins 

Coursing and pulsing in my heart beat's path 

Bitten and then hunger takes hold the reigns 

Even a dummy could sum up this math 

Fever within as my flesh starts to stink

Sweat pouring down burns and trickles off me 

Thoughts sparse and rare and I can't seem to think

Eyes open wide but now I cannot see

Thirst so relentless my throat cries for aid

Stomach ablaze as I purge my last meal

Look at my hands and the color displayed 

Pale, ashen, rotting in each limb's appeal

Gone now are all of my woes, aches, and pains

Shamble and ramble and call out for ... BRAINS!
