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
