A poem for Beni

Once there was a Hungarian thief,
His life was hard, his life was brief,
Beni, that was his name,
He was longing , but not for fame
In wealth, he thought, I'll find my pleasure
That's why he was seeking for treasure.
So he robbed a house of God,
But was arrested on the spot.
They let him make his own decision,
- joining the legion or going to prison
Of course our Beni chose the latter,
Thinking compared to prison it could only be better
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Soon he found out he had been mistaken
Being a legionary was hard, he felt forsaken
But then he finally found a sidekick
A young American, called Rick
One day a fierce battle broke out
And Beni and Rick were going to die without doubt
But Beni survived by cheating his mate
And left poor old Rick to his fate.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Now that he knew where Hamunaptra was,
He wanted to use his knowledge of course
So he promised some Americans to lead them to the city,
He wanted to let them die in the desert, and didn't have pity
But these guys were smart, so they said, - we
Will only give you the first part of your fee
You'll get the rest, we promise dear
As soon as we are safe back here.

On their travel Beni found out that he was wrong,
O'Connell wasn't dead, as he had hoped for so long
Beni now knew that he wasn't alone
'Cause O'Connell was leading a group of his own
They were only four, a girl and three men,
- So they are nothing to worry about, then
Beni said to himself with a smile,
Next second he was landing with a splash in the Nile
O'Connell was still a little angry with him,
So the rest of the way, he had to swim.
When he landed on the shore,
He hated O'Connell even more
It's true that Beni had the horses and O'Connell did shiver
But Beni and his team were on the wrong side of the river
-Well, Beni thought as he glared at his "friend",
I guess sometimes things don't work out the way you've planned
