Alden, that was great. I need to get the tune from you as well.
In service to the dream with a song in my heart, I am

Ok - Eleanor pointed out that this is really my *second* song (see The Husbands' Retort on my bardic page at bard.ansteorra.org), but it's the first song I wrote with original music.
At Westgate Winter Collegium this weekend (yes - Winter in June), we were performing some bardic pieces, and a song that I sang at Gulf War a couple years ago came up in discussion, but it was NOT a song to be sung in polite company, so I wasn't going to sing it that night. It prompted me to comment "That's a song right there - A song about a song that I'm not going to sing." So I am happy to say that I put the idea down on paper and have come up with the following song. I wrote three verses, but more can easily be added.
Cheers,
Alden Drake
A Song About A Song
You call on me to sing a song
Because you heard it said,
That Ive a song to make you gasp
And turn your face bright red.
But surely this is not the time,
Nor place for such a song,
The baroness is listening
And that would just be wrong.
So this is my song,
A song about a song,
A song about a song that I am not going to sing.
You heard a rumor from a friend
About a dreadful tune,
Sung by a fair and dashing bard
One night beneath the moon.
Oh yes my friends that bard is me;
I dont deny the fame,
(But) The baroness still listens
And I think she knows my name.
So this is my song,
A song about a song,
A song about a song that I am not going to sing.
The baronesss champion,
He keeps his eye on me.
In case I dare to sing my song
Before her company.
But I am not some reckless cad,
No, that would not be right,
But I will sing it after she
Retires for the night.
So this is my song,
A song about a song,
A song about a song that I am not going to sing.
Yes this is my song,
A song about a song,
A song about a song that I am not going to sing.
