Excellent Rumblin' and Bumblin' The Inn at Blackpool : The Nitwits Three by Stu Harrell Laughter writing prompt entry

Now we are a band of hellions A tormentin' them and thee A plunderin' and a strikin' fear We are the Robbers three You can hear us in the distance A creatin' more debris Pure terror we are known as We are the Bandits three Impartial to the war about We give a pinch to General Lee But still both sides got lots of loot We are the Villains three Now we think we frighten children But little Polly kicked each knee We run in fear from Polly We are the Wounded three Now we all need a little respite At the house of Sweet Marie Kissin' it up and singin' a song We are the Lovers three Now Early loved Scotch whiskey In place of Grandma's tea So we swigged about and swirled a bit We are the Drinkin' three Now we was a tastin' puddin' From somewhere 'cross the sea Nearby were Union Troopers Now we are the Prisoners three So soon we face the hangman Our lives still fancy free There's lots of loot near the Pearly Gates We are the Heaven's three Writing Prompt Write a poem of any type that makes your reader laugh. Author Notes I grew up making up these little jingles and have loved them ever since
