(copied and put in my own words)

There was a kingdom on a hill,
which had treasure under a rock.
There was a valley below the hill,
which wanted the treasure.

The people of the valley sent a message up the hill,
which said:
May we have you treasure?
The kingdom sent a reply up the hill that said:
We shall share.

The valley didn't want to share,
they said to mount the horses and draw the swards.
They killed the kingdom,
they lifted the rock and all it said was:
Peace on Earth.
