He Was a Scoundrel

He rode into town on a big white horse
Showing he was serious of course
We were amazed and amused

Many maidens gave a deep sigh
And married women thought I know not why
We smiled among ourselves

Is he a prince, a rogue or a king?
We knew it was something to later be seen.
We talked about him for days and days.

Nine months later there were six new babies
Proof that the cad had a way with the ladies
We were glad when he left in the night

You might need more coffee, so you can actually face these scoundrels with your pirate hat and your saber.
