Maybe I should offer them some?
I was actually looking for something else and this surfaced from the recesses of that cavernous space known as "my brain" - and it just struck me that a bastardised version would be quite useful rallying cry for La Resistance

Emperor Cole was a Tyrant of Olde
And a Tyrant of Olde was he
He crushed out our hearts, and he enslaved our souls
And he unleashed his Lieutenants three
Every Lieutenant he had an army
And a very large army had he;
And so we prepare, and thus we dare
'Gainst that Cole and his Lieutentants three.
Loyalist Version:
Emperor Cole was a warrior bold
And a heart of pure gold has he
We pledge all our lives, all our bodies and souls
To his rule and his Lieutenants three
Every Lieutenant he has a duty
A duty he takes seriously;
So do not despair, you are in the best care
Emperor Cole and his Lieutenants three.
(Yes, I know Cole has more than three Lts, but certain artistic license must be taken... heh.. that and I'm too lazy to do research)

well, as a neil gaimen fan, i have seen areas where authors have expanded simple nursery rhymes into some fairly engaging stories, so while he has more than 3 trusted lieutenants, i wouldnt be shocked if some reference was gone for. a lot of nursery rhymes are about significantly gloomy events anyhow.

The rhyme in question is often thought to refer to Coel Henn (I believe that's how it's rendered; going by memory here), a ruler in what is now Brittany in the 5th century. He occasionally shows up in stories about King Arthur.|
