Three to many
Once upon a time
there happened a crime
some man stole a heart
which was not really smart
His friend had a treasure
who gave him good pleasure
the man looked at it in envy
and would like also of that candy
So one day his friend was away
he did his best to have a play
with the treasure who gave pleasure
what ended up in a measure
The men gave him punishment
what waited was banishment
the friendship broken
things left unspoken
The man couln't deal with
it made him see he had to admit
what an *ss he had been
and that it was real mean
The day he left the rain poured
he made himself a chord
not one more time in such a strain
and never be that stupid again
