Villagers Storm Frankenstein's Castle
Villagers Storm Frankenstein’s Castle
By Elton Camp
Two hundred years the castle has stood
Occupied by barons, some bad, some good
Its dark shadow falling over the town
Few dared cause the noble baron to frown
But when the latest baron came into power,
Some of the villagers began to angrily glower
It was false claims they began to make
As a stand against the baron they did take
“This man has no right nobility to claim.
Why he even has a foreign sounding name.”
“It’s in an infidel religion he’s a believer.
He is actually a vile, dangerous deceiver.”
“We seriously doubt his claim to citizenship.
Both his position and title we’d like to strip.”
“Our fine land isn’t the place of his birth.
“He’s from a remote spot on this earth!”
“Our pitchforks and torches he seeks to ban.
It’s all a part of the baron’s dictatorial plan.”
The entire country they attempted to incite
To move against the castle in darkest night
If the baron they feel they should oppose
Give some real reasons, not any of those
