There is a time when spirits wander
seeping out from graveyards and corpses.
All living beings are vulnerable
when souls roam free
vampires and zombies abound.
It is wise to carry symbols
like crucifixes and holy water
to guard against most phantoms
but sometimes it is necessary
to bring out serious repellent,
like a necklace made of garlic,
to protect humans from ghoulish
intruders, keeping them safe
until the sun rises at daybreak.
Better than potions and amulets
they are low cost and readily available
and when the night is done
can be chopped and added to sauces,
adding flavor to foods and lingering
long after the meal to keep those
who are possessed
away from your throat.
