Saw the play, came home and wrote the poem. For what it's worth.)

The S. Pimpernel was considered a dandy,
But he was the one you wanted handy;
If ever a villain wanted your head,
He'd lop that wicked man's instead.

If Scarlet Pimpernel were alive today,
We'd point a finger and laugh at his way.
For we judge by the cover of the book,
Instead of taking a longer look.

So let us not sneer at our different neighbor,
He may be the one who can wield a sabre
To chase our enemies and show us the way,
To live and fight another day.
