Sacula Unsacked!

The setting sun crossed the Kansas plains
Where willowy wind swept wheat
Sways as hair on horses manes.

As coddled cattle slothfully graze,
Shadowed skies show yellow
With that frightfully familiar haze.

The ambient air grew silent, still
Wind waning a warning
To indigenous inhabitants chill.

Then off in a distance hear the slight rumble!
A single silencing sound
That causes the most courageous to crumble.

As longer and louder it grew to a roar,
Towards the hosting heavens
In frightened feathered flight birds did soar.

Then on the horizon, hovering while seeming to linger,
Forged the furious funnel cloud
Looking like a big black fault finding finger.

Closer, closer it came with a rage.
With flurry, and fury
A wonderful wild beast uncaged.

Lasting mere minutes though seemed an hour.
Five minutes, maybe ten
A twisting, turning, tall tornado tower.

Hell hath no fury like what God wrath!
For death and destruction
Left a withering wake of aftermath.

But this time the terror was not strictly storm limited
As from a dormant shallow shroud
A long lost monster was remorsefully remitted.

Wait! Let’s hesitate; recount the hideous history
Of the famous family, Ula,
Whose masochistic origin remains a murky mystery.

A family of vain, but villainous venomous vampires
Whose feared and fabled bat-like bite
Engorges their victims who excruciatingly expire.

Drac, the dreaded deadly demon, definitely the boss,
Who’s repeatedly reputed
To have pumped more pulsating plasma than the Red Cross.

Blac, the beautiful black bionic brother of the clan;
Dabbling delightfully in dialogue
Like, “Hey, Momma! What’s happening, my Main Man?”

This satiric sacrament is of that sarcous sarcoid sucker, Sac
Whose sardonic slothful slumberings
Make Rip Van Winkle sound like an incurable insomniac.

While nakedly napping negligently nowhere near norm,
Our nasty neck nuzzler
Was buried by a careening Kansas dust storm.

Uncovered by the torrent tornado two-hundred years later,
Sacula set free surfaced
From his coffin left behind in a cavernous crater.

Insatiably, Sac began to search as a sagacious surgeon
For the single satisfying supplement
To quench a demon’s desire; fluid from the veins of a virgin.

Maybe modern morality mischievously muddled his tedious task
As he searched the vicinal village,
But was one mystical midwestern maiden to martyr too much to ask?

For on this native noon all numinous nubile nymphs under nine
Had vacated the village
For pre-girl-scout camp in a land of parsnip, parsley, and pine.

And so as the saving salutary sun began to rise
Harrowingly o’er the hayseed horizon,
He began his retreat though thirst unquenched through frustrated tries.

Then there she stood sultry, staidly sentrying the cigar store
With a sensuous stony stare.
Early American vintage, but a chance to score is a chance to score.

She’s heinously homely holding a handful of panatela.
A vincible virgin no doubt!
How could a dog like that ever attract a young fella?

Silently, slowly stealing closer ‘til suddenly he sprang
With piercing precision.
Into the throat he fiercely sank his fiendishly fatal fang.

But no fluid would flow through this homely hunk of firewood,
And Satan’s sun rising
Hazardously on the horizon endangered his manhood.

Thrusting and thrashing though each time torridly thwarted
From freeing his fixed fastened fangs
From this tight timber throated trap to which he’d resorted.

With the sun’s radiant rays rising rapidly astern,
Ravaged in rage he raced
Lugging his lover of lumber to his crude crypt he returned.

Till today you hear his wakening wail, though distinctly distorted,
When the moon is full, and the wind whirls
Across the peaceful prairie plains, still stuck it’s regretfully reported.

THE MORAL :

If you set certain standards, and they’re nowhere in sight,
Don’t settle for substitutes.
You could wind up sleeping with a Wooden Indian, night after night!
