Black satin attire  
And dark shadowed eyes 
Black leather boots 
Knee leather high 
Blackened lip smiles  
Long black locks  
The older generation  
In shock! 
Pierced tongues  
and noses of silver 
New style to mock 
Pasty white faces 
Vampire connotes 
I was born too soon 
Now all I could be  
Is a Gothic granny.
