Trash: A Browncoat Ballad

 Trash
A Browncoat Ballad

A villain they had hoped
To never see again
A deceiver and saboteur
With feminine wiles to boot

An old friend deceived
Rescued and enraged
The liar hitches a secret ride
A secret soon revealed

A challenge to his honor
Drives the captain
To defend his skills
And make some money of course

Unbeknownst to the liar
She is being lied to
The crew does not trust her
Burned bridges, no matter how pretty

A plan is hatched
While a contingency is placed
A priceless treasure targeted
A stronghold infiltrated

Yet another false husband is discovered
And before the treasure can be stolen
The con artist is conned
By a broken heart that will not break again

A mad scramble to get away
Has the temptress thinking
Believing she has won yet again
The captain is left with less than a respectable appearance

An equally negative appearance
Overcomes the liar
As the true companion
Leaves the liar to her trash
