Xeno Hemlock

If this is a taste of the inevitable future
Can somebody please take care of my suture?
Though I am youthful, I can’t limp around
If man-eating zombies will invade the town.

I’d better go diet and aim to be lean
If I wish to not be in a juicy scene
With me as the main course on a zombie’s plate
That’s a tough and unpalatable fate.
