The Tale of Two Brothers by Hayden Wierzba

1.There once was a king that ruled in north france 2. His looks and his kindness flew like a dance 3. His name was Benedict, a fair name I say 4. He fought and tousled throughout any fray 5. His wife, the queen was as fair as can be 6. She stood by the king like a big maple tree 7. Although there was happiness roaming about 8. One man in particular started to rout 9. The King’s own brother got jealous and thought 10. If I steal the crown, I’ll find what I sought 11. His name was Edmund,THE DEVIL, THE LOT 12. He once lived with Benedict, but they fought 13. So back to the part where the scheme first began 14. His devious, reckless, and outright bad plan 15. He hired a thief who was feared in the land 16. For his stealth, his power, and his sleight of hand 17. His name was Severin, THE CROOK, THE SLY 18. His job was to take the crown, and to spy 19. But he had a different plan so he could gain 20. The crown was to be his, so he may reign 21. At once he set off to complete the quest 22. He would refuse to sleep and refuse to rest 23. His black horse danced in the shadows all night 24. As he rode through the darkness and into the light 25. As he reached the chateau where the king doth sleep 26. He slipt through the guards without making a peep 27. And up to the chamber where the king sleeps sound 28. Where he was going to kill, and be crowned 29. So both the king and queen were killed that same day 30. The thief became king and he was very gay 31. So the brother, so angry decided to leave 32. It is said that he still walks with sheer disbelief.
