The Mistake In Tashbann
by: Andrew
Shasta, a horse's boy
continued west to avoid
being taken as a slave
but to be free in the brave
land of Narnia..

As he travels through the town
he is mistaken for the boy in the crown
prince Corin ( His long lost twin. )
and supposedly the lost boy is back.

He is taken to a palace to be fed,
the food is like a mountain on his plate,
as he slowly drifts off to bed
CRASH-KABLANG a pot has been smashed
up comes prince Corin's face
Then at once they realize the mistake.

The boys swiftly switch place
The night was cold the wind was blown
prince Corin told Shasta, the horses boy, how he'd come.
At once Shasta left
not to spare a single breath
for the night was like an arrow quick and harsh
he fled from the western gate
and rejoiced for now he was safe.
