Catlady Larew at How To Become A Cat Lady Without The Cats wrote this little gem, it is sung to the tune of London Bridges Falling Down:
Quirky's head is full of brainz,
Full of brainz,
Full of brainz.
Quirky's head is full of brainz,
Quirkster Zombie
And then she included another zombie limerick about my zombie, erm, I mean Quirky Sons whom referred to as "zomblets." *chuckle*
There once was a Zombie named Quirky
Who subsisted on strips of loon jerky
She ate bloggers' brainz
Diet Pepper and cranes
So her Zomblets turned out awfully perky.
Reffie at Confessions of a Reforming Geek did not disappoint with her zombie poem effort.
Roses are red, violets are blue (great start, huh?)
The undead of the night are wanting for you.
Creatures known as zombies with bodies craving
Without a spirit to guide them, they are certainly misbehaving.
Count your fingers, count your toes.
Oh Dearz, have they taken your nose?
Where's little Johnny and his pet sheep Dan
Oopz! It looks like Johnny's in the frying pan.
I couldn't stop laughing at this line: Oh Dearz, have they taken your nose? I still say Michael Jackson inspired her on that one line.
Then Marvin at The Old Silly put on his limerick jeans and wrote this fun, fun, funny zombie limerick.
A Zombie once wanted a Quombie.
He’d die in his coffin one to get.
He puzzled his head,
Though he was mostly brain dead,
and penned this pathetic poem wannabe.
MikeWJ at Too Many Mornings blog waxed quite poetic with his "adaptation of the classic Dylan Thomas poem, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night." Click here to read the original poem by Dylan Thomas and then click here to read MikeWJ's zombified version.
Wow.
He also wrote this:
This Zombie adaptation of the classic Dylan Thomas poem, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, is dedicated to the fabulous Quirkyloon, who loves Zombie lore and has a horribly misshapen head, but is very funny nonetheless and has become a daily must-read for me and many, many others.
Thanks for reminding me that I have a "horribly misshapen head." Really, thanks. I think that is why I can relate so well to zombies, and why they relate so well to me. Since my head is already well on its way to resembling a zombie head, they think I'm already one of them! *smile*
My good, ole rocker blogger buddy Noname Nonamedufus also put on his limerick jeans (hopefully, not the same pair as Marvin's!) and produced a zombie limerick too.
A Zombie Poem
Around each dark street corner she lurks
Sipping Diet Pepper, munching gherks
She's slightly insanze
Looking for brainz
Our rocknroll, zombified Quirks
Ah, Diet Dr. Pepper, nice touch. I loved the entire very humorous limerick, but a gherk? I'm no pickle lady! But definitely insanez. Definitely.
Now Mr. C.B. Jones at Mindful Drivel really cracked me up with his "original" poem.
Untitled, by Zom-B. Jones.
Brains...brains...BRAINS!
bbbbrrrrraaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnss...
brains, Malkovich, brains!
br-ains....nomnomnomnomnom!
I could not stop laughing at the simplicity of his poem. And then he threw in "Malkovich" and that kept me rolling on the floor for a long time!
(Insert mental image of Quirky rolling back and forth, back and forth in laughter.)
And because you all tried and I enjoyed reading each poem so very much. You ALL get a Quombie!
Behold!
Ooops! Wrong image. Let me try again.
Ah, that's better now, isn't it?
Remember it is only mine to give and I haven't given out that many. I'm quite stingy with it, so it is a unique decision to give out so many at once.
Probably because the zombies won't stop nibbling on my brainz, and I am losing it more and more each day.
But wait...I still have yet to announce the big winner.
This lucky winner shall receive:
Zombie Brain Candy and the PC Game Plants vs. Zombies.
And the winner is...
(drum roll)
MikeWJ at Too Many Mornings.
He bowled me over with his great and successful zombie poem effort. He zombified a great poem (not that there's anything wrong with that!).
Congratulations Mike!
And thanks to everyone who was willing to go along and have a little zombie fun with me.
B.S. Mike? Contact me at quirkyloon@gmail.com and I will get your prizes in the mail asap.

I knew MikeWJ nailed it with that Dylanz spoof. It was great.
I'm happy with my Quombie, although some chicken salad and deviled eggs would sure sweeten the deal!
Congrats to MikeWJ and what a fun contest!
Congrats, MikeWJ! Awesome parody of Dylan Thomas! He's correct in saying your blog's a "daily must-read!"
And a big thank you, Quirkster, for letting me have the coveted Quombie! I'm so proud, I can die happily now... bring on the Zombies! (Hope the Zomblets liked the poem!)
Grump, complain, kick things ... darn it. But gotta admit, Mike's was off the hook funny and creative. Fact is, there's a TON of funny and creative readers here on this blog, so hat's off to all ... erm, I'll keep my hat on - forgot my hairpiece.
So now - about that bowl of Chicken salad? My consolation prize? Did you forget?
The Old Silly
Dang it! I definitely need to brush up on my poetry writing.....
Congrats MikeWJ! In the words of Napoleon Dynamite....."Lucky!".
@Noname Chicken salad...on the way! But first you must sign a waiver relieving me of any liability for food poisoning! hee hee
@Reffie I hope you had fun GF! *smile*
@Catlady You're most welcome for the Quombie! Enjoy and thanks again for your TWO entries, they both made me laugh!
@SOSL Your consolation prize is being able to "view" my kickass captioneer image. That should make you feel better! hee hee
@MeMe His muse must be the "liger." Ha!
Best word ever: "Zomblets".
I like ham and cheese zomblets, myself.
Since I didn't know about this in time to submit anything for the contest, I guess I'm stuck with the Richard Simmons picture instead.
Richard?
How many calories are in a ham and cheese zomblet?
In a previous life, I was a contest.
Love the poems! I didn't see this until now, but last week I wrote a zombie poem myself. not nearly as good as these, but ill share!
There once was a boy named bobby
he had a very strange hobby-
he gobbled up brains
and slurped blood from some veins it would have been cool-
but he's not a zombie.
@Janna That is a cool word. CatLady rawks!
@C.B.Jones Of course. *smile*
@Carissajaded Nice poem. So is Bobby a vamp, since he's not a zombie? hee hee
Quirky, I am deeply honored to receive and accept this award and the many exciting prizes that go with it, especially the candy. I love candy, even Zombie candy, although to be honest I'm not sure what that is and I'm too lazy to Google it. I'll just wait until it arrives and be surprised--like I was when I saw that I'd won your contest. In the words of ReformingGeek (is she reforming, as in changing into something better, or reforming, as in coming back together in her original form?), the competition was stiff. Heehee!
P.S. -- I like how your P.S. to me was labeled B.S. Either you had your college degree on your mind, or that was an interesting--and perhaps appropriate--Freudian slip. :)
Congrats Mike!
*chuckle*
B.S.? Many moons ago, I started using B.S. because it is a blog script, not a post script. Plus, it's a fun play on the abbreviation. AND... my degree was a B.A., not a B.S.! Although it should've been labled B.S.! Confused yet? hee hee
congrats Mike!!!
Quirkgirll... I could not come up with anything at all that would be worthy..
I got stuck after "there once was a zombie from nantucket"
Tough choice you had.. they were all good!
Just so you know Quirks...I worked on a poem forever and it was turning into an epic ode. I even googled zombies. At least it turned into an educational experience.
Congrats to whatsitswhosit.
B.S. hahaha
@Dizzie Aw Girlfriend! You should've kept going just a little bit! Anything would've worked! But there's always next time right? hee hee
@Mamaface And aren't you glad you did? (Google zombies?) I'm sure you are! Quite sure! *smile*
