The Prince's Tale

Astonishingly, this is not a relic. It was written quite recently, actually (when I was having major Snape feels). It is of course about none other than Severus Snape and his miserable life. On that note, enjoy!

Good afternoon, my insignificant class; 

Let us at last begin.

If any of you expect to pass,

You'd better start to listen in.

Ten points from Gryffindor- what a pity - 

For famous Potter's tactless noise,

Thinking his obtuse self unbelievably witty,

Whilst lacking all his mother's poise.

Eye of newt goes in the pot

For watchfulness throughout the year.

Ear of rabbit on the dot,

So that you may remember all you hear.

Snakeskin sloughed and sliced fine

Will aid the house I represent.

Pluck one ebony hair from mine,

For ‘twill mask the past that I lament.

Cast the memories in the swirling pool.

No need for the Polyjuice Potion, 

For to pass unsuspected, cool, 

Masquerade your motive simply as devotion.

Kneel to whom heartlessly controls, 

Antagonize that whom willfully lives. 

Never show a moment's waver; 

Never divert from this one path.

Let go of all the memories you savor

To fuel the utmost hellish wrath.

Take a sip now of a Memory Potion 

To corrupt thoughts of the Stag

And the Prince who might’ve been loved,

And remember who is your Foe

And remember who is your Beloved.

Guys, I need a bit of help with the sentence fluency. I'm not sure if it flows nicely enough...
