Zombies

I ended up at Best Buy today, and I guess in celebration (honor?) of Halloween they are having a sale on Horror movies. I ended up buying Dawn of the Dead, the original version. I didn't realize I was buying the original version but I am fine with that. I hadn't seen it before, but it has proved to be amusing. Of course this movie is great because they end up trapped in a mall. Not a bad place to be during the zombie apocalypse, I can think of a number of other zombie movies where they definitely put the characters in far scarier situations. Malls, not so scary, but full of comic potential. Zombies on escalators? Hilarious. Of course these movies aren't about the threat of zombies that is so scary, really you have to be scared of the humans you are with and their stupidity. Zombies are slow, you can out run them at walking speed so really how tough can they be. The great thing about these movies is that you see even in a world wide apocalypse you still have these petty conflicts that divide them. You'd hope that you could just find a way to get a long in these situations, but reality is you will always have to deal with other Anyways I thought I would write a poem about zombies. I do have to say I love surprise zombie attacks, especially at the pace they move at. By the way if for nothing else I'd suggest Dawn of the Dead for its music, classic.


Zombie Supply Kit

What do you need when
you are dead?
Of course if you get up
and walk around
after you've kicked
the bucket
you'll be hungry.
So, we'll need food,
maybe a friends.
maybe an enemy.
It doesn't really matter
to me,
as long as I get my
fill,
thats all I need.
