Picture picture on the wall....

A little picture on the wall,
Told the story to us all,
It claimed its innocence,
Before its disappearance.

The tale it did tell,
Was of a big church bell,
Up in a tower,
That hid so much power.

'One Day, it did say,
It lived by the bay,
But pirates attacked its home,
And all its gnomes.

To cut a long story short,
The bell was sent to a port,
Where it was sold,
For some rich mans gold.

Then the picture was painted,
Before its artist fainted,
To hide the truth,
Within its roof.
