FILK: Macbeth Troop

[Caius Marcius]

This is one in a series of a half-dozen or so Shakespearean filks 
that I wrote in the late 90s, well before I became acquainted with 
the Potterverse. This one is to the tune of the theme from F Troop (a 
sitcom which aired from 1965-1967).

The end of a Scottish war was near
But then, supernaturally,
Three witches appeared, said those sisters weird
That the throne by this Thane would be commandeered

This prophetic buzz so thrilled his spouse
She scarcely could catch her breath
So, Duncan's their guest, oops, he's laid to rest
And now, here's the thing, the next king's: Macbeth!

Banquo buys the farm, young Macduff comes to harm,
Three murderers do their killins
But ghosts and sleepwalkers 
Show the guilt of our villains

Prince Malcolm's appraised, an army's raised
To fight for all the oppressed
And the king is informed none of woman born
Can resist, so defends till he headless descends - TO DEATH!
