Vengeance from beyond the grave . . .
|
|
|
Long, long ago, in the distant past
A humble servant was working fast
For the greedy man who lived up top
Who pushed and pushed and wouldn’t stop.
The servant was lonely, weary and sad
Made many a mistake, his master grew mad
He was banished from the mansion, never to come back
And from then on, he planned his attack.
‘Twas a cold, frosty night on Halloween
The shadow of a familiar face, emerged once again
The greedy man woke up in terror, staring at the ghost
Who only wanted revenge on the rich, vile host.
The master begged for mercy, squealing like a mouse
He made an offer to the ghost, giving him his house
The phantom agreed that this was fair and let the man go free
“I’ve got my revenge on you”, he smirked, “And now I’ll leave you be”.

The Ballad of Sir Wally Reed
|
|
|
Sir Wally Reed
On his mighty steed
Galloped to Paisley
Frae Braeheid.
The news in the letter
Could have been better.
Lady Reed caught
What a terrible deed.
Unforgiving, upset
Beyond belief
Wally Reid did not see the
Sword hit his heid.
An alas, he is no more.
He is totally deid.
Gravestone erected.
Lady Reed suspected.
"Suit of armour for sale".
Jordan Douglas (S2)
