Mr Lloyd
by RosieT

Belloc drawingThis parody of Hillaire Belloc's cautionary tale Henry King is from The Fantasy Archers topic of The Archers message board.

The Chief Defect of Mr Lloyd
Was trying to help the unemployed.
At last he 'friended one who tried
To rob his house from the inside.

Detectives of the Utmost Fame
Were called at once; but when they came
They told him, as they took their Fees,
"Kenton will help you, if you please."

"Ryan will very soon be caught."
Alistair keened and became distraught,
Lamenting Ryan's untimely criming,
When Ryan with his lack of timing

Cried, "Oh, my Friend, be warned by me,
That Plasma, Wiis and DVD
Are all the gamblers require."
With that, the Wretch was seen a liar.
