Forty Thieves

Astrid Astérix

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

Gathering sticks

To build up the fire we called home.

I poured in the fuel and got burned---

Now it's freezing cold.
