Bit by a Werewolf
I saw while trick or treating
Some shaking in a tree.
Out jumped something furry
And sank its teeth in me!
You say it was a werewolf?
Nah, I’m not superstitious.
But weird things are occurring.
My friends now look delicious!
My sense of smell increases.
I’m faster and much stronger.
I hate the sight of silver.
My hair is growing longer!
The next full moon is rising.
My claws would cause a fright.
Oh no, did I just howl?
That WAS a werewolf bite!
Some shaking in a tree.
Out jumped something furry
And sank its teeth in me!
You say it was a werewolf?
Nah, I’m not superstitious.
But weird things are occurring.
My friends now look delicious!
My sense of smell increases.
I’m faster and much stronger.
I hate the sight of silver.
My hair is growing longer!
The next full moon is rising.
My claws would cause a fright.
Oh no, did I just howl?
That WAS a werewolf bite!
