To those who had a chance to taste a legend Here is the song that went with the drink. I think it would be nice to create our own verses. I offer a bottle of imperium compound to the person who comes up with a verse for His Grace Duke Jonathan or Myself Willow de Wisp.

Yes, He did. Thank You, Your Graces! =) Here's the song... IMPERIUM COMPOUND (SONGS6.TXT)
(Tune: "Lily the Pink")
(1) Now here's a story, a little bit gory,
A little bit happy, a little bit sad.
About a drink called Imperium Compound
And how the SCA's been had! (1)
Chorus: Oh we think, we think, we think,
The King is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of respectability
Rules the Kingdom thru Imperium Compound
The results are plain to see!
Duke Treegirtsea, was known for his courtesy,
And his fighting prowess was well-renowned
Took a thimble of Imperium Compound
ely bald! //and married!// (1)
There was Roland, he wrote with a slow hand
But in what he writes he does take pride
Dipped his quill in Imperium Compound
And took Wandor for a ride! //for money!// (2)
Azarael, a melodious fellow
Sings a song both sweet and terse,
After drinking Imperium Compound,
He gets verse and verse and verse!
(10) Hakan Redbeard, we thought him a bit wierd,
We thought Vikings all were six foot four,
Bathed his beard in Imperium Compound
And he shrank right to the floor! //still singing!//
2
After Hakan, we sing of the KaKhan,
And his Horde, which never seems to leave!
They just smile at Imperium Compound,
I wonder what is up his sleeve? //wheet - thunk!//
AltChorus: Oh, we think, we think, we think,
The Khan is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of incredibility
Rules the Horde with Ghengis Compound
With results that you can never see!
Robert Asprin, pulled many a fast one (alt: Yang the Nauseating, pulled many a fast one)
On the Kingdom and its' Kings,
So we all drank Imperium Compound
Now we can stand the songs he sings! //oh, yeah?// (4)
There was Rolac, some thought him a Polack,
But he was a Scot, you see,
He took treatments of Imperium Compound,
Now he's as wise as you or me! //not likely!// (1)
Ol' Duke Siggie, a West Coast biggie,
Didn't know enough for his own good!
Threw a knife at Yang the Nauseating,
And escaped with Brotherhood! (2)
Kenneth of Cheviot, I haven't quite rhymed yet,
But he has a fair and roving eye,
When imbibing Imperium Compound
He is never, ever, ever, shy! (2)
Mongol Hordemen, those free-living swordsmen
Subverting the Kingdoms from underneath!
Have no use for Imperium Compound
Except perhaps to brush their teeth!
AltChorus: Oh we fink, we fink, we fink,
The Khan and the Kink, the Kink, the Kink,
And the Board, their Great Senilities!
The Western Irgun, drinks Imperium Compound
And we're BACK, with results you'll see! (13)
Laurelin Darksbane, millenial elf-thane,
Sought only for love and peace,
Took a drink of Imperium Compound
Now you'll find him in the trees!
Daemon de Folo wants authority, solo,
Like a tyrant he would be
Stole a drink of Imperium Compound
So much for MidRealm Heraldry!

He has never ever reached his peak
He was given Imperium Compound
And pronounced it was too damn weak!

He's smoked substances both strange and rare
He tried smoking Imperium Compound
Now he breathes water instead of air!

For with ladies he took fright
Took a drink of Imperium Compound
Now he's horny day and night!

Of bureaucracy had had his fill

Till he tasted Imperium Compound
Now he's claws and teeth and hair!

And the ladies always passed him by

He thought Rivengut was just too sweet
So we gave him Imperium Compound
Now he cannot find his feet!
Lady Laurel, with Authority Royal,
Passes and rejects our heraldry
She needs a swig of Imperium Compound
Then perhaps she'd deign to talk to me!
Kevin Perigrynne, we hoped that he'd win,
When he made Duke William's helmet ring
Though a mere Knight, he showed his great might
Now he's our curly-headed King!
AltChorus: Oh we think, we think, we think,
The King is a fink, a fink, a fink,
A figure of delectability!
Combs his hair with Imperium Compound
The results are plain to see!
Said Kevin Perigrynne, I've really got to win
My fighting poem is three years old today
Rubbed his pinions with Imperium Compound
And brought an old grey wolf to bay!
(30) Kevin Perigrynne, they told him "You'll never win!"
You're just a falcon with a broken wing
Rubbed his elbow with Imperium Compound
Even a cripple can be King! (11)

Beneath a mop of flashy golden hair
He rakes and he boozes, but it's Compound he uses
When he runs out of savoir faire! (6)

And another con they tried to swing
Now the BoD drinks Imperium Compound
So we no longer need a King! (7)

The figure of Supreme Authority!
And if we O.D.'d on Imperium Compund
there'd be no need for Royalty! (7/8)

Sought to give away her job
She was poisoned with Imperium Compound

When Setanta was the Crown Prince
He wore garments of a sombre hue
Then he tasted Imperium Compound
And now he's berry, berry blue! (16)
Imperium Compound is a manly brew
As many a puissant Countess will assert!
It makes you wonder about King Vissevald
The King who wears a skirt! (16)

Drinks Imperium Compound by the quart
He likes it so much he's never noticed

On the field, or in the drinking hall;
At the Catbox War with Caid,
Left thirty bodies piled against the wall! (5)

And go out and whomp on anybody's best!
(100) Oh, Ebenezer, thought he was Julius Caesar
So they put him in the Funny Home.
Then they gave him Imperium Compound,
Now he's Emperor of Rome.
AltChorus: Oh let's drink a drink, a drink, a drink,
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink,
The savior of the human ra-aa-ace.
She invented Imperium Compound,
Most effacatious in evr'y case.
There was Horic, We thought he was sick,
As a War-Puppy he was insane,
Gave up Tranya for Imperium Compound,
Now we have an Acid Reign! //Oh wow, man!// (18)
This song'll bedevil the folks at a revel,
And most of the time it will annoy the King,
So take a drink of Imperium Compound
And let's go Royalty-bedeviling! (5)
Duchess Anna is quite a fan-a
Going on a wartime shopping spree! \\ War Point!\\
Took a drink of Imperium Compound
And shopped so fast we couldn't see! \\ Z-o-o-o-om!\\ (5)

Twice the Queen of Atenveldt;
Took a drink of Imperium Compound

Won the Crown with regularity;
Drank a lot of Imperium Compound,
And founded a dynasty! (5)

And a chivalrous fighter without any doubt
Took a swig of Imperium Compound
And won the Crown his first time out! (5))

Which is quite funny in a King!
If he gets hooked on Imperium Compound
There'll be new songs to sing! \\ Oh, really?\\ (19)
Fredrick of Holland, who dwells in the Northland,
A Master from the West, he came!
Spends all his money for Imperium Compound
That's why his garb's always the same! (20)
Now Gyrth Oldcastle, round as a beer barrel,
Once chose to quarrel with a certain Bard;
The poet served him with Imperium Compound,
And left him rendered down to lard! (20)
(112) Many tales abound of Imperium Compound
And its' strange effects on Royalty,
But after an hour, this song has no power,
And by now, it's boring ME! (16)
Duchess Malinda, who doesn't do windas
But she does a lot of Duchess Things,
But give her a LOT of Imperium Compound And she sings and sings and sings and sings and sings! AltChorus: Oh it's too long, too long, too long To sing the whole song, the song, the song Longer than a Royal Court, it is! But sing it serial, this ditty Imperial And you'll be a bardic whiz!
