Whilst loitering ill in my ol’ comfy chair,
What didst I espy,
But an old, creepy movie
Glorying in all black and white!
The Vampire Bat (1939),
With stars of yore,
Such as Wray, and Atwill,
Douglas and Eburne!
Prepared was I, for another drear’
Plot, executed with no excitation or bon
Mot, but only to accumulate
A little more green to buy more rear.
So much was the surprise,
Not a character of cardboard,
Faces of character,
Characters … memorable!
Indeed, such a lovely twist,
To please this fevered brain,
I can only give,
Three stars out of four!
(The sound editor should have been shot!)
