[Elfsea] FWD: Re: [MK Heralds]Pure silliness, delete if you like...

Pardon the bandwidth, but I know many of the heraldicly inclined in Elfsea don't subscribe to scahrlds because of the large volume of messages.

Right, since I'm apparently surrounded, here's my own piece of... work.
I count 22 heraldic puns here, ranging from the appalling to the very
appalling and everything in between.

Heralds Don't Pun - They Cant
-----------------------------

I stare in Or at potent fools,
Those sinister perverted gules,
Who'd bend and counter all the rules
If proper heralds weren't in charge.

They would disable every law,
And cross their fingers to be sure,
To undermine our ways, and more!
I pale to see them still at large!

An ordinary man cannot
Do vairy much to stop the rot
I must confess it makes me hot
To see this conflict happening!

So mullet over, learn the truth:
Argentleman can't be uncouth!
Take arms upon the field, forsooth!
(And bill your invoice of the King.)

  It all sounds rather naive and sentimental to be talking
  about children laughing and dancing and singing together
  when we all know perfectly well that what children do in
  real life is snarl and take drugs.
