O that sly, old Long John Silver & Polly
His 'poetic' parrot plotted to deceive,
The naïve denizens of Treasure Island,
Because they both greedily wanted more and
More points and pieces of eight. But then they met
Their nemesis. Their deeds, they were to regret.
For in the form of two noble British knights
Wrong was quickly, and ruthlessly, put to right.
One knight was from Wales, and one was from England.
And they both made those crude villains understand
The true meaning of pain, as they strung them up
On the gallows. They were never seen again.
The true meaning of pain, as they strung them up On the gallows. They were never seen again.......any greed greets the ultimate catastrophe of life
