Werewolf-hunting (a bedtime story)

For my roommate, Jonathan. So he has a good fairytale to tell his niece in Germany at bedtime (to make sure she stays under the covers … awoooo).

{diction}

 
Werewolf, werewolf. Are you there, wolf?
Want to catch you in my snare, wolf.
But if you're smart, you won't be there, wolf
(you tricky-dicky little werewolf).

Werewolf, werewolf, loves the moonlight.
Werewolf, is tha(?)-aatchoo! Gesundheit.
Werewolf – now I must be stealthy
(because the werewolf's bite's unhealthy).

Werewolf's stronger, but – I'm wiser.
Werewolf ON MY NECK, OH SCHEISSE !!!
Still, I think you are a dumb one;
Werewolf, now I have become one. :(

(**Warning: Germans may seek retribution
if you butcher their accents.
... & they may own stun-guns.**)
