I Know Who You Are

I Know Who You Are

You Jester! You Wretch! You're merely fool's gold 
We Dragons knew of from eons of old...
     Yesss...I know who you are.

I can see you there...amongst my treasures 
Glist'ning...Gleaming...with taunting-like pleasures 
     But I know who you are. 

You try to appear as selfless and rare
But foul is your stinch when brought to bare 
     For I know who you are.

Your words are all shallow like tink'ling brass
You're common and tarnished and have no class 
     Oh... I know who you are.

It took me some time to figure it out 
Never again will you fool me! You Lout!
     Now I know...who you are.
