We drew water from the well
And found lots of coins

He found lots of coins
When he snuck around the keep
And snuck out quickly

He snuck out quickly
Choosing to leave between shifts
But he chose poorly

For he ended up on sea,
Destined to far lands.

Destined to far lands
Water, water everywhere,
nor any drop to drink

Spoiler: show
Note: Yes, this came from the lyrics of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from Iron Maiden, inspired by Coleridge's poem. I always loved that song and couldn't resist. ;)

No, go change.  We'll wait

You'll hunt better then.
