An Ode to Ben

Summary:

A poem about the original Ben Hargreeves.

Work Text:

Ben, Horror, a Six dead at seventeen

Who lived from the grave longer than on earth

Yet never knew the mother of his birth

All his siblings did mourn the small bean

Except for Klaus who knew him after

Nearby, forever, for all’ve hereafter

Ben loved to lecture; a scold and a bore

A virgin who oft said Klaus t’was a whore

Despite, their lives were filled with laughter

 

Then tragedy struck our heroes un’wares

Ben sacrificed himself to save Seven

While the Sparrows gave Ben his emo hairs

Our Umbrella Ben was sent to heaven

 

“You know that’s absolutely, objectively terrible, right?”

“Shut up.” Klaus crumpled the paper and tossed it into the trash can at Ben’s feet. “My Ben would have liked it.”

“No, he wouldn’t.”

Klaus hissed at him as he grabbed a fresh page.
