Subject: [SCA-Chirurgeon] A Chirurgeon's Fee

Discussion of the Chirurgeon's ArtI had a moment of weakness and this popped
out. With some suggestions from An Tir Chirurgeons, this is the final draft.
I wrote it for no particular tune but feel free to try and "Tune it up" if
you'd like.  :-}

Any one who wants to use this in an SCA publication has my permission to do
so.

A CHIRURGEONS FEE

 

By

 

Companion Aaron of the Black Mountains OP

Mentor Chirurgeon 

Two grumpy old Chirurgeons came walking up the road And on their heads wore
battered hats with worn badges bold Baldric sash across their chests,
proudly trimmed with gold Upon their backs and in their hands they carry
humongous loads 

Chorus
So drink to the Chirurgeonate, keep them bored and sane Don't make them run
to answer calls, for most of them are lame Please let them laze away the
days, and watch the passing game Until they're all curmudgeons, having
earned their service fame 

Two sacks for lunch, first aid kits six, two chairs to sit upon A blanket
roll, two walking sticks, ice by the ton Two other bags for paperwork, and
as they walked along Behind them, on a wheeled cart, a cooler bouncing on 

Chorus 


At Chirurgeons point, these curmudgeons sit well out of the sun Regaling all
with wondrous tales of bygone days long done Of mighty men and women, sure
giants every one Who by their blood and sweat and tears built this pile of -
fun? 

Chorus 


They tell of mighty battles, of foolish deeds bravely done Tales of acute
stupidity, immortalized in song Of silly drunks and nature gone oh so
horribly wrong Tales told without the name protecting those long gone 

Chorus 

These Chirurgeons are curmudgeons, on this we can all agree But if I get an
owie, or fall and scrape my knee Call for these curmudgeons please, they're
the ones for me For these curmudgeon Chirurgeons have always worked for free
