Zombie Limericks

There once were a boy and girl sent away to camp

Summe caamp was the usual; tedious and damp

But they soon came to find

Something taking over minds

An evil out of which they must stamp. 

Because I am making lists today:

a. this is a terrible limerick

b. credit goes to Susan Kim and Laurence Klavan, during whose signing at NYCC I came up with the idea of book-related poetry at all.  (Feel free to also vilify them if you have not been enjoying this.)

c. the book is better.
