Died For a Brother

When Agnes was taken, 
We were deeply shaken;
From reverie woken,
Hit by a wood oaken!

Fred should have been their man:
The Guy to Raw Skin tan;
In oven lodge no fan
And show evils man can...

To them it's the same thing:
They'd make Fred's sister thin;
First just whisk her away
And hope Fred goes astray...

At last, Fred failed to dance
And it was her last chance;
When at her shots were fired,
We guessed smart guns were hired.
