There was a rotten man
Searching to steal wealth
Throughout all the whole landHe heard of the king
In need of someone
To fetch his lost blingThe goblin folk high
In the tall mountains
Did the king's treasure pryThe man scaled all
The rough snow bound rocks
Not once did he even fallAtop and tired
He was ambushed then
A goblin archer firedLoud he cried
The man
DiedThen in another land
A heavenly herald shown
The angel took his handThe bright woman spoke
of what was most true
Love of money will chokeThe soul might find peace
When he gives up theft
Fate decreed it must ceaseFrom his deep dream trance
Well alive again
He had yet another chanceMany hours now had past
On the frozen cliffs
He drew his dagger fastHe avenged his death
Slaying the goblins
Angrily out of breathThen he found the gold
Tempted to take all
He knew the angel's scoldHe returned the coin
To the king far below
To dinner he did joinThe king threw a drunken feast
To praise his new court hero
That he deserved, at leastThe young princess flirted
With the strong, brave man
They quietly divertedTo her bedchamber
Revealing all her beauty
He then entered her chamber!Now what have we learned?
Honestly has perks
More than any gold earned
