Analysis of Forty Thieves
The three musketeers
Turned into forty thieves
With hidden agendas and tricks up our sleeves.
We pulled Robinhood stunts on our own greatest fears.
Treacherous woods we did roam
Searching for elusive pots of gold
To build up the fire we called home.
I poured in the fuel and got burned---
Now it's freezing cold.
