Twenty years ago or so

A group was newly sewn

There thrived four wizards of great style

Whose nick-names are well known

Brave James Potter, the boy-next-door

Suave Sirius from Penn

Wise Remus Lupin, across the yard

Shrewd Pettigrew from the inn

They shared a hope, a wish, a dream

They hatched a daring plan

To further guide mischief-makers

Thus, the Marauders Map began

Now each of these co-founders

Were different all in all

Though very much loved pranks and tricks

Each followed his own call

Good 'ol Prongs was bold and strong

A deer-leap from the rest

While Padfoot is all fun and games

So charming at his best

Now Moony here is more reserved

But so cool nonetheless

And Wormtail is another story

More dark and treacherous

The Marauders as we call them

Were the pranksters of their time

So smooth and cool and funny

I just made this poem of mine

To honor those so honorable

A cut above the rest

Thank you Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail, Prongs!

The heroes with such zest!
