Townsfolk of Gale

The town's folk of gales:
I'll tell you a tale, of the townsfolk of Gale,

who lived in the north, by the sea.

Each child was given, a flower forbidden,

and a liliput flower traditionally.

The liliput flower, had magical powers,

it healed the poisoned, and ill.

The forbidden flower, required a bower.

And left unattended may kill.

Now off in the east, lived a king and a beast

and both lived inside the same skin,

the beast and the king, were a threatening thing,

and so many had tried to slay him.
One night in the keep, when the king was asleep,

a shadow slipped into his rooms,
It stabbed at the king, what a frightening thing,

with a knife dipped in forbidden blooms.

Oh the guards were as quick, and the shadow was slit,

but the damage was done to the king.

So they gathered their own, for the king and the thrown,

and they set off out west following.

The people were honored, though but simple farmers,

their king came to ask for the cure,

and the liliput flower, in his needed hour,

Healed the king poisoned before.  

The king was quite happy and praised them quite gladly,

and for him they threw a great feast,

but the townsfolk knew not, of the ill to be wrought,
when you sit a bit long with a beast.

A guard for the john, who took one left turn wrong,

came out at that nursery bower,

What came to his mind, when what then did he find?

Not just those good liliput flowers?

That cry in the night, oh what graven a slight!

The forbidden flower of Gale

And so the beast king, could do only one thing,

they tried to explain, but they failed.

The king wouldn't hear, that you needed both there,

the forbidden bloom with the flower,
Together they worked, to counter the curse,

of a poison, a spell, of such power.
The king drew his sword, and each cry he ignored,

he slew the woman and men.  

then child by child, he dragged into the wild,

and the beast then did eat all of them.

I'll tell you a tale, of the townsfolk of Gale,

who lived in the north by the sea

Each child was given, a flower forbidden,

and a liliput flower traditionally.
