After several tearful weeks, the two of us have finally been able to pull
ourselves together to contribute to the fan efforts to re-write Last
Knight.  Drawing on the traditions of Shakespeare, Yeats, and Homer, we
chose to put our heart-felt view of this episode in verse.  We hope you
enjoy this tale of love, loss, and a search for redemption gone horribly
wrong.
 
 
 
Last Verses: poetry to lighten an aching heart, by Q & A
 
  The hunger that Knight used to quench,
  With the taste of a full-bodied wench,
  He filled now with cow
  (Which he swallowed somehow)
  Or ketchup-dipped fries that are french!
 
  And he tried protein shakes that were bad,
  To regain the true life he once had.
  The M.E. helped him out,
  For she hadn't a doubt,
  She'd succeed in redeeming her lad.
 
  And yet time, it refused to stand still.
  And Nick longed for the thrill of the kill.
  He wouldn't touch Nat
  Beyond a fond pat --
  Which made her decidedly ill.
 
  The forensic pathologist said,
  "My good friend was just found, and she's dead.
  She told me, 'Get a life,
  Or just end all the strife.'
  So I say, my dear Nick...off to bed!"
 
  Our blonde vampire said to his dear,
  "I kill when I kiss, so I fear
  Eternal damnation
  or worse, cancellation
  and watching Silk Stalkings all year."
 
  Though Nick feared the dark vampire touch,
  He took Nat in a desperate clutch
  On her wrist gave a peck,
  Sunk his teeth in her neck,
  But of course our dear Nick took too much!
 
  LaCroix said to his son, "My dear Nick,
  There are times you can be such a brick!
  Let Nat die - it's no loss,
  Or bring her across,
  Or I'll give you a whack with this stick!"
 
  And so friends here's the twist to the tale:
  Is he mortal or did Nicky fail?
  Did Nat 'come across'?
  Is Nick her new boss?
  Has she joined the eternally pale?
