King of the Hostess Zombies!
One day, when crops are raised with Gatorade,
A strange new man will emerge from the waste
Promising the peeps, who were all dismayed,
That a future awaits with consistent taste!
Pressing gluons with new types of platens
He mashes glutens that bring back the dead
Where they see that immortality fattens
An apocalypse where zombies are fed!
And the feed they need are not live brains,
Since it turns out they were never much use,
But a new kind of cake praised in refrains
With flavors that numb simian abuse.
And live brains, like what the Chinese devour,
Leaves you hungry again in an hour!
A strange new man will emerge from the waste
Promising the peeps, who were all dismayed,
That a future awaits with consistent taste!
Pressing gluons with new types of platens

Where they see that immortality fattens
An apocalypse where zombies are fed!
And the feed they need are not live brains,
Since it turns out they were never much use,
But a new kind of cake praised in refrains
With flavors that numb simian abuse.
And live brains, like what the Chinese devour,
Leaves you hungry again in an hour!

I adore your smart creativity, MS.
The Gatorade reference reminds me of ridiculously funny movie called "Idiocracy" which is a silly spoof that takes place in a future where everyone is so incredibly dumbed down that they're 100% believing in the propaganda of huge corporate sponsorships to the point of it being almost gospel. The country is in complete crisis because food crops are dying off due to the idiots that remain; who've devolved to the point that they're using Mt Dew to irrigate!! ...lmao!! 😂 Anyway, I like your dig at the lack of brain usability and the surprising, cleverly quirky and funny direction you took your zombification!!
It was a terrifically entertaining read,
per your usual quality ink, my dear poet
Enjoyed!

Isn't the diversity of poetic styles here at DUP a truly wonderful thing? And for sure I was thinking about "Idiocracy" when I wrote it. What a terrific, and terrifying movie it is and hats off to you for picking up on the reference!
As to the lack of brain usability, It dawned on me early on how the whole zombie genre can be condensed into a metaphor for the educated elite being grossly outnumbered by the uneducated masses. For me, I think it was a gateway concept into the ideational world of Marxism. I should, for purposes of clarity, state that I am not a Marxist, yet, but that I am happy to consider ideation from all intellectual quarters BEFORE considering their dismissal.
And perhaps most importantly, I am pleased to have provided you with a measure of pleasure! Of all things which may gratify a gentleman, that is, and, should be, the first!
