alexander was not so great
billy the kid deserved a better fate
confucius said a few things
because who knows what tomorrow brings
danny deever was hanged at dawn
for not keeping off the lawn
eratosthenes had a long name
because he knew how to play the game
frank james was the brains of the gang
genghis khan deserved to hang
for what he did to hank the hat
i knew you would see it like that
ike the icicle got a bad rap
jerry the jumper tipped his cap
to that nefarious rascal, old king kole
when larry the lender was on a roll
at midnight all the monks come out
and the new recruits give a mighty shout
omar the tentmaker buys a round
and the drums in the distance start to pound
at this point the policeman gets queasy
robin hood tells him to take it easy
st swithin will come back on time
to put an end to this foolish rhyme
under a black and whispering sky
the raindrops all come home to die
another version of this tale
is available through the mail
wait for it if you please
expect a flash of lightning through the trees
you might be surprised
at what befalls your empty eyes
