/// It would take quite a lot to surprise her,
(after all, she’s the wife of the Kaiser).
Augusta Viktoria
was filled with euphoria
from her hefty investments in Pfizer.
/// I have doubts that the Queen ever “tweeted,”
while at King Wilhelm’s side she was seated.
Auguste was, in her time,
“Influencer-in-Prime.”
(Like a Jenner, but far less conceited.)
/// When fabric makes contact with spangle,
her gown’s many layers can tangle.
Her long dress will dishevel
if she stands straight and level,
so, obtusely, she leans at an angle.
/// Glinda’s neck has a rash from the stubble
of Fiero, but there’s bigger trouble.
Now her appetite’s grown;
it’s been months since she’s flown.
She has gotten too big for her bubble.
/// She feels holes in her neck with her fingers,
while a vague phantom memory lingers.
A man came in the night
and those wounds were a bite.
He was one of those undead blood drinkers.
/// So, according to Bram Stoker’s story,
vampire came to the land of Victoria.
He was driven away
by a Dutchmen, they say,
but he left England quite a bit gorier.
/// Abe Van Helsing escaped with his life,
and he managed to save Harker’s wife.
While Vlad, the blood-sucker,
received Quincey’s succor
when “released” by his sharp Bowie knife.
