The Canterbury Tales Remade: The Pardoner's Tale

To walk in search of warmth and tales a man,

the head of a business, with a woman,

who was a knight for rights along her life.

They met along a low-life that a wife’s

Tale told about a place of cheating love.

A soldier came that heard the tale of love

Insulted he was and for justice he asked.

Agreed them all and so the head was tasked

to tell a moral tale. By them he was

soon pushed to start this thoughtful tale. Because

to them he was unknown, about himself

he talked, about his greed and vicious self.

When done, his tale, he begun. About three men,

Who were then leading all of the tradesmen.

Long ago while drowning in excess and

Vice the three news heard that a friend a grand

end had by deaths hand. Enraged by this they

set out to kill this death. Then they said “hey”

to a tired elder who passed by, “we

need to find a certain death, old shabby

man, do you know of his whereabouts?” He

answered, “why young lad, for him I simply

wait, but if you wish to find him, that tree!

Underneath it he usually rests”. So

They set out to end this death an also,

make him for his crimes pay. Under the tree

a sac full of cash they found. The bulky

bills they decided not to deposit

until the night, when accountants don’t sit,

instead they party and drink as will soon

they. To do this they sent the youngest one

for food and ale for their greedy bastion.

One in town the young one found some poison

From his job and with it defiled some

meals for his bros. Meanwhile, the two, gruesome

Like gangsters of old, plotted machine guns.

When the friends met again the bang of guns

Made the youth’s blood flow with the poisoned ale

Since they all met death it was not all failed.

Still, it was greed that caught them, just like I

Will be caught by my own varied dark lies.
