' The Pied Piper Poem... ' Poem by MoonBee Canady

… Was He A Fiend
Or A Friend?
Where Did He Take
The Children?

With Gaiety
He Played!
What Childhood
Dreams-Displayed?

In Each
Cherry-Cheeked Head …
That Followed
Unafraid

… Only Poor Little
Crippled Tom
Sadly, Got Left Behind
At Home

Whose Honest Parents
Were Only Ones Nice
To Pied Piper
And Willing To Pay Price

… and So, Kindly He
Left Their Son
But Took All
The Other Ones …

Was He A Fiend
Or A Friend?
They Should Have Paid
At First, When …

… But Pied Piper Played
His Payback Tune
And Danced Hamlin’s Hearts
…and Raw-Deal To Doom
