[Ansteorra] Appropos of Nothing, My Lords & Ladies...

[Paul DeLisle]

.But inspired by seeing some Olde Friends this weekend...

I present the following for your perusal and possible (but unlikely)
enjoyment.

(It's not my fault...blame my Muse, Curly-Joe.He got all excited at seeing a
bunch of other old Farts!)

 

The SCA Doth Not Forget

By Alden Pharamond

(.to a slower, and more Madrigal-like version of a possibly recognizable
tune <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFItjSqKvPo> .)

 

So you're a little bit older and a 

Lot less bolder than you used to be 

You used to swing a stick, but 

Now you're getting worried 'bout that old trick knee 

So now A.S. Thirty's turned Forty-Five 

Your eyes roll back, imagining a six-hour Drive 

Well, all you have to do is get up and into your gear 

There's somebody near.

Come back, Gentles

The SCA never forgets 

 

You better get yourself a Tunic 

Go to Fighter Practice, or the local Guild 

Check the local newsletter 

Chances are you'll find something you want to build 

Yea, you'll forget about the rat-race for the Courtly Grace 

You're sure to find a friendly or a mem'rable face 

And all you got to do is get is get out to the Event 

We'll loan you a tent

Come back, Gentles

The SCA never forgets 

 

Oh the bards're still singing late into the night

Retelling the excitement of a masterful fight 

All you got to do is just make that Revel tonight 

Yea, tonight 

 

Well now, A.S. Thirty's turned Forty-Five 

You've forgotten what it's like to feel really alive

Well, all Fleig's children are out there, throwing his shots*

They'll save you a spot

Come back, Gentles

The SCA never forgets 

Yeah, A.S. Thirty's turned Forty-Five 

'Cause of WoW you don't remember what it's like to fight live

Hey, Tivar's kids are all swinging, from chandeliers.

                And drinking great beers

Come back, Gentles

The SCA never forgets 

 

Come back, Gentles, 

The SCA never forgets !!

Lloyd (von Eaker), or your personal favorite.

 

 

In Service (if you can call it that)

I (still) remain
