There once was a snowfort,
it was very old,
it guarded a treasure
that had to be kept cold.
Some ninjas
they watched it
day after day
until a wolf
tried to take it away.
His name was Sir Oldninja
and retired he was
from a big pack of wolves
that didn't follow the laws
He hatched a great plan
he snuck in at 3
when all of the ninjas
were out having tea
He melted a hole
through the wall with a torch
then went up the steps
and began the search.
He entered the tower
where the treasure was kept
but the ninjas had returned
he surely was trapped.
He cracked the code
that guarded the vault
only then
did he realize his fault.
He grabbed the treasure
which was kept in big sacks
and turned towards the stairs
which had numerous cracks
The ninjas they coated
the stairs with salt
causing Oldninja
to abruptly halt.
The stairs had all melted
for the salt thawed the ice
and poor Sir Oldninja
had to think twice.
He looked and he looked
but there was nowhere to go
except to jump off the tower
and land in the snow
So Oldninja turned
and jumped off the roof
and landed safe
in the snow
with a poof
he ran toward the woods
where he soon would be free
to examine his loot
without having to flee
So eagerly he opened
one of the bags
his tail was droopy
it wagged no wags
For all of that trouble
had been for nothing
because in the sacks
were piles of stuffing.
