Once Upon A Time

In A Place Ruled By Untrustworthy People
In A Land Where The King Blair Lived Far Away
Fearing A Peasant Revolution Great Changes In Local Rule Were Ordered
That Was Intended As The Peoples Chance Of Freedom From Tyrants

In The Days Approaching This Great Change
A Automaton In The Form Of A Man Appeared
Appealing For Much Support From The Peasants
And In Return He Pledged To Do All He Could For Them

But While This Robot Traveled Speaking With The People Telling Them Of
His Great Plan To Rid The Area Of All
Thieves Rogues And Vagabonds
That Had Inflicted For Many Years Without Respite
Much Suffering Upon The People

A Agent Of King Blair Arrived And Approached A Local Scribe
And A Great Story Was Written
That Described How This New Savoir
Was A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
And Once He Was Amongst The Flock
A Reign Of Terror Would Follow

The Agent Told How His Party Of Followers
Should Be The Only Ones Allowed To Rule The People

Now The People Knew Of This Agent Of The King
And Some Believed Him To Be The Magician Merlin
For His Greatest Skill Was In Only Appearing Before
The Local Scribe Before Disappearing Again
When Some Great Disaster For The King Was About To Unfold

In Other Parts Of The Land Agents Of The King
Loved The Peasants Company So Much They Opened Regular Meeting Places
For Them To Visit And Tell Their Tales Of Woe Direct

Believing The Promises Made By The Robot
To Defend Them Above All Others
The Peasants Made Him Their Leader

When He Went To The Local Palace From Where He Would Rule
A Strange And Wonderful Event Occurred
It Was As If This Man Had Greater Power Than Merlin

Because Upon His Entering The Palace A Great Awakening
From Their Deep Slumber Was Caused To Those Who Had Ruled Before

Great Shouting And Celebration Was To Be Heard From Within
And From The Scribe As How They Had Dreamed Of Ways
To Rid The Place Of All Wrong Doers

So It Was Ordered That All The People Living Around The Palace
Would Be Gathered Up And Moved

Then A Great Holocaust Was To Be Set Upon The Land
To Raise All The Buildings To The Ground

So Those In The Palace Would Have Their Very Own
