Summary: A poem about the Pimpernel League
Author's Notes: I attempted to keep every line five syllables and use an a,b,a,b rhyme scheme. This is much harder than it sounds…
If you are daring
Chivalrous and true
Into death staring
Revolution grew.
The Pimpernel League
If you're an archer
If you've sharpened wits
An army marcher
Or on you a good'ead sits.
The Pimpernel League
If you're a hero
A soul for glory yearns
Be not like Nero
Fiddling whilst Rome burns.
The Pimpernel League
And so I request
Young men brave and true
Become France's guest
Sir Percy wants you!
(And a parody of a Great Depression-Era ditty to fill my word requirement)
Foucquier pulled the whistle
Madame Guillotine rang the bell
Chavelin gave the signal
And the country went to hell
