Your post inspired me to poetry:
--- who boldly jumped, the broken bridge
Vogir was the one,
--- who shot and killed, the Hippogryff
Vogir was the one,
--- who grievously injured, the Shooting Fish
Sing to Vogir, Striker pure
Sing to Vogir, Our Saviour sure
Vogir was the one,
--- when the horse-cum-bird, came screeching down
Vogir it left prone,
--- but he ran it through, and stood up proud
Vogir was the one,
--- who bow in hand, vanquished all
Sing to Vogir, brave Defender
Sing to Vogir, Ego as Fender
In the battle,
--- the brave and foolish fall ,
The cowardly die,
--- but Vogir stands tall
Sing to Vogir, stout hearted fellow
Sing to Vogir, all colours but yellow.
I'm actually grinning!

Vogir left Winterhaven.
ReplyDeleteWhen attacked, his cowardice was brazen.
The hippgriff bit,
The hippogroff clawed,
But our 'hero' was merely shaven.
I can see Vogir's got two years of Mendez to live down.

It was of course a paraphrase of Kirk's email, but I felt it was close enough to poetry to be entombed in aspic (i.e. put on the public internet).
ReplyDeletePS - Love the limerick Scott!
All this makes me miss Peter-Paul!
Has to change last chorus as it was a bit weak ;)
ReplyDeleteNext step is to write the music.
And then, the musical!
'Ego as Fender.'
ReplyDelete'All colours but yellow.'
Genius!

A shifty young guy from Highmarsh
ReplyDeleteThought the dragon a tiny bit harsh
He picked up a sword
but that made him bored
With a bow he could aim for the stars
