Lowly Black Hatters

Pirates of Words

Cathy A Montville
Black hatters steal and spin your hard work
They take what is yours, they laugh and they smirk
Black hatters have no true ideals
Their hearts are cold, they do not feel
Let me help myself they say
For all your work, I will be paid

Craft me some words and spend all your time
I reap the real money...you get a dime
What are these ethics you cry about?
Why do you shout, you lout, you lout

I want your work now give it here
I will steal it all...I have no fear
What's yours is mine, you know it's true
Go ahead just try to sue

My name is never twice the same
I hide from you, I love this game
The lowly black hatters are cruel indeed
Their status ranks beneath a weed!

Keep your black hatter grubby hands off my work!
