I Shan't Tell
Two twins named Chantelle
with buckets and bells
took to the road
to scoop from the well
bending right over,
Chantelle, who, quite sober,
slipped off the end
and tumbled and fell
"Oh no!" cried Chantelle
who looked down the well
and saw that Chantelle
was quite far from swell
"I'll get some help"
she exclaimed and ran off
to the village close by
while her sister just coughed
"My sister is stuck,
won't you help me please?
She's gone down the well
and can be pulled out with ease.
I'm quite a small girl
and have no strength,
I beg thee to help us
it would go a long length!"
"What is your name?
Who ails so this morning?"
a tender young youth
asked without warning
"I, Chantelle" said Chantelle
her statement of confusion
caused the youth to quell
"Why if you cannot tell me,
how could I trust thou?
For all that I know
this is just a show
to have me robbed
like a few weeks ago
With that, the youth left
with worries of theft
and Chantelle
felt stupid
"Who's gone down the well,
who was it you said?"
a kindly old man
with his sons asked with dread
"Oh thank goodness,
you're cordial!"
Chantelle cried with hope
"You'll help my poor sister?
Well this is quite dope!"
"Now hold it, young lady
I mean both your tongue and your spirit
What's happened there
to your sister, let's hear it"
"Well to be quite frank,
she had a dumb tumble
after the rope
made her fuss and fumble.
Just some water, we wanted
to scoop from the well
then that dummy had to slip
and down there she fell."
"I see." said the man
"My young sons can help thee.
Go on, Arcus and Angus,
go and set that girl free."
And so the three went
back deep in the forest
till upon the well
they could hear Chantelle's chorus
"I'm here for you sis!
With a strong pair of arms!
They can lift you out soon
out the way of harm!"
"Tis' bout time!"
Chantelle bellowed
"What took thee so long?
I've been sitting here waiting
I've sang like 5 songs!"
"How far down are you there?
Can we reach? What's your name?
Arcus and Angus
asked the stuck dame
"I, Chantelle," said Chantelle
her words echoed off the well
"So help me out now
for there are bugs here that dwell."
"What was your name?
We couldn't quite catch that."
Arcus and Angus puzzled quietly
those asshats
They turned to Chantelle
who was puzzled as well
and asked,
"Dude, what did your sister say, seriously."
Chantelle pointed slightly
to herself quite lightly
then to the well
where her sister looked unslightly
"I, Chantelle," replied Chantelle
and looked back at the well
"She, Chantelle," continued Chantelle
"the one who fell down the well."
"That's it, we're leaving,
this is a joke of a mess.
You ladies are crazy
is this your idea of a jest?”
Arcus and Angus
both turned and marched angrily
feeling like idiots
with no shred of rationality
Chantelle and Chantelle
both dumbfounded at the well
took a vow to go home
and change one of their names to something original
