<P>To hug a bard will fortune bring</P>
<P>You can put this fact to the test.</P>
<P>With stories to tell and songs to sing,</P>
<P>To hug a bard will fortune bring.</P>
<P>So with your arms about him (her) ring</P>
<P>And you'll see that I do not jest,</P>
<P>To hug a bard will fortune bring</P>
<P>You can put this fact to the test.</P>
<P>If you would give a bard a kiss,</P>
<P>He would immortalize your name,</P>
<P>In songs or poems such as this,</P>
<P>If you would give a bard a kiss.</P>
<P>So take a chance, don't be remiss,</P>
<P>You'd have only yourself to blame.</P>
<P>If you would give a bard a kiss,</P>
<P>He would immortalize your name.</P>
<P>If into bed a bard you take</P>
<P>You're the luckiest lass (lad) of all,</P>
<P>As I have heard the earth will shake</P>
<P>If into bed a bard you take.</P>
<P>For such grand music you will make</P>
<P>As to fill any concert hall,</P>
<P>If into bed a bard you take</P>
<P>You're the luckiest lass (lad) of all.</P></FONT>ssage-----<BR><B>From:</B>

<DIV>With many thanks to Antonia and Eleanor, most of my poems have been
recovered. All that remains is a trio of triolets ala "The perks of
knowing a bard". Thank you ladies; I am in your debt.</DIV>
