Short and Sweet (#3 in Our Three Part Holiday Series)
A VERY FROSTY KISS, MISS
|
Here
are the Spellbinders at the December 11 Alamosa Bookstore event. We
collected many books for the APS Title One Homeless Student Project and
had a fun time visiting with other local authors, librarians, and
families. Thanks to everyone who helped us sing our holiday spoofs,
especially the kids who played bells and other instruments.
Congratulations to GoofyJ who won In the Trees, Honeybees by Lori Mortenson as part of our November giveaway.
Here is the third and
final installment of our song spoof trio. WARNING - There are spoilers,
so if you haven't read all the books in the Twilight series, you might want to wait on this song:
EDWARD THE VAMPIRE or A VERY FROST KISS MISS
by Carolee Dean
Inspired by the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer
(Sung to the tune of "FROSTY THE SNOWMAN")
Edward the vampire
is a boy without a soul.
He has a sparkly smile
and a GQ style,
but his eyes are black as coal.
"Edward the Vampire
is a school girls dream," they sigh.
But Bella knows
that he's white as snow,
because he's dead inside.
Her heart goes
Thumpity, thump, thump,
Thumpity thump, thump
when he walks the hall.
Thumpity, thump, thump
Thumpity, thump, thump
watch her trip and fall.
Edward the Vampire
is a vegetarian.
Though the Voluri
are much more scary,
they claim to have more fun.
Edward's a Vampire
but Bells is not afraid.
Though she is a clutz,
and her friends are nuts,
Edward loves her away.
Her heart goes
Thumpity, thump, thump,
Thumpity thump, thump
halfway through Book Four.
Then she gets wed,
becomes undead.
Now her heart will beat no more. To check out the other two songs in our Holiday Series or any other articles you may have missed, find past issues at the Spellbinders Blog along with tips for creating your own book spoofs:
We are taking a break and will be back on January 14, 2013.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
