Seymour tronnet 7 in one blow

There once was a Grimm story we were told
about a poor but confident fellow
claiming of slaying 7 in one blow,
stitched it on his belt like a rodeo!
It was 7 flies, not men (still impressed --
7 would have taken me a minute
I guess, even with my eyes at their best,
Not 7 in one shot like he did it).
So in my memory dude brags around,
Which manages to game himself some ground
Until he runs into some giant clowns
who kick his loser ass down fuckin town.
Moral of the story, deceits & lies
in the end don't gain you a better life.
 
But it turns out I recalled it all wrong.
That dude didn't have no downfall at all.
He tricks his way into fame & riches
& ends up marrying him a princess.
People fear but just can't get rid of him
& ultimately he gets to be King.
Some moral! How did I change the whole thing
into how truth & justice trump fake bling?
Working as a Bristol Mountain liftie
it was quite comical to those on skis
seeing me swat flies, pt-tchhh! with my hat
against the plexiglass, mofos take that!
I busted that hat up wouldn't you know,
but I never got 7 in one blow.
