The dinner was going extremely well 
but he couldn’t help but notice the tiny green salad spot on her front tooth..
was it food, or something else?..
Was it human or something more sinister?, 
like ghoul slime, ghost sneeze  or even worse, snot! 
No, no, it couldn't be that, could it?
the green spot was getting bigger, 
it was fluorescent and pulsing to a steady beat
but having killed her and prepared his feast, 
he wasn’t going to stop now, even with the risk of radiation poisoning.

it started like any other day in paradise...
Eve was tempted to eat a apple
trouble was, it wasn't the first apple 
she'd eaten that day and the hissing 
she'd previously dismissed as mild tinnitus was getting louder
as she began to think she wasn’t alone 
Yo!!!! Shouted Adam from the other side. 
What are you doing love? Eve replied nothing… 
Well I am done with this role play… 
can we please go home now… 
It’s very cold and I am sick and tired of eating apples all day… 
I told we should have gone to Ibiza… 
Oh shut up Adam! You complain too much!!!,
then an army of zombie clowns rode in 
on zombie cows and killed everyone.
