The Count's Little Minions

The count's little minions
All fall in line
Nothing to their names but death
They call their count kind

The count's little warrior
Loyal, strong, and true
Was betrayed and lost everything
He never had a clue

The count's little minions
Believed in their cause
They would destroy all worlds
Without a moment's pause

The count's little spider
Spoiled, cruel, and teenaged
No one knows the things she's done
In the horror of her rage

The count's little minions
All did their best
Blood and bruises earned to put
The hero to the test

The count's little assassin
Brother true and steady
His count had him brainwashed
'Till he was twisted and deadly

The count's little minions
All followed his lead
All except for one that is
The one controlled by greed

The count's little jester
Heart of naught but ice
He pulled all the strings but lost
To a fateful roll of dice

The count's little minions
All had a sad tale
They fought and they hoped
But they were doomed to fail

The count's little bat
Stayed always by his side
Took a blow meant for him
He never told her he lied

The count's little minions
The two that were left
Raised up his spirits to say
He was no longer bereft

The count's little wife
Her true love she kissed
Together they triumphed and
Together they were missed

The count's little minions
Heartbroken they did cry
Their count went away
Without a single goodbye

The count's little jester
Died and fell to fire
It was all he deserved that
No one stood by his pyre

The count's little bat
Revived by her heart
Didn't last long
With her heart torn apart

The count's little warrior
Lost his love unrequited
With nothing to strive for
He would just as soon bite it

The count's little spider
Toiled away as a maid
She was stabbed in revenge
For her cruelty she paid

The count's little plumber
Swung by a rope one night
The other never did depart
But rather extinguished the light

The count's little minions
Left only with sadness
Departed from their cursèd lives
Consumed by madness

The count's little minions
All fell one by one
He came back one day
To find they all had gone
