There was a vamp who did bite
All the ladies took fright
His speed was such
He didn’t move too much
But fell on a spike from a height

you really need to read them aloud.
Hear the difference
There was a vamp who did bite
the ladies took a big fright
His speed was such
He didn’t move much
But fell on a spike from a height
