The Bastard's Tale
A classic piece of literature
If I ever heard one

Part 1:
A wicked, bitter pretence
Stumbling round
No doubt
Blase
Righteous
Remember now the year's
1412, or something
As I searched amongst them
For a valuable gold piece
Not really
No, not really

The Bastard's Tale
Part 2:
Now remember
The year is 1714
And we're enjoying our new inventions
Whatever those were
Such is The Bastard's life
Without apology
A cursed, pathetic boredom
Altered by death alone
Death, a giant test
Transpired
July 30th 1914
You should have seen us then
Coupled as we were
A feverish embrace
Wow
