there has never been a ruler

quite like vlad

some people thought he was too cruel

or even mad

he was the most effective prince

they ever had

vlad the impaler

impaled a sailor

vlad the impaler

impaled his tailor

from far away they heard

how tepes´ victims wailed

that was the sound that people made

when they were impaled

the stench was awful

in his principality

decomposing corpses

filled the vicinity
