Once Upon A Time
Live recording, literally haven’t listened to it yet. Hope you enjoy this gruesome twist on a classic.
LYRICS:
Two brothers lived atop the Earth
And Each received a gift so gleeful
Arkin, the eldest, all fortune of worth
And Clarence, the younger, to care for the people.
Then in time, dear Clarence did measure
Perhaps my people would surely be delighted
For just one piece of Arkin’s great treasure
And so to this query was his brother invited.
Arkin swiftly scolded and coldly declared,
“This fortune will be mine for the rest of my days.”
So Clarence knowing his brother impaired
Promptly dealt a blow and set him ablaze.
Once a year forevermore Clarence would deliver afar
A piece of Arkin’s fortune to the good—and to the evil, his char.
Looking for feedback on
Mainly storytelling. Does the story come through? (similar to last week, i know). Would love some specific alternate verse/line/word suggestions

I love how you savor and chew on the lyrics. I imagined Jack Black singing it with a devilish grin and a gleam in his eye. I follow the story and I like it, but I’m not sure I know which tale you’re re-telling 🤔

I cannot get over “perhaps my people would surely be delighted.” I’ve laughed out loud four times over that. Good job wringing the fun out of a sonnet.
