In a fit of late-night filking, the following emerged. FYI, Callisto is
the name of the baronial herald's office; "Virtuous 'til Spastic" is
derived from an anagram for "Callisto Pursuivant" that came out of
Anagram Genius: http://www.AnagramGenius.com/server.html
To the tune of John Denver's "Calypso":
Aye, Callisto, you're virtuous 'til spastic,
pursuivant delecti, no stories to tell.
Aye, Callisto, yer brain's boiled in aspic;
Pursuivant delecti in heraldic hell.
To fill out five names forms for each new submitter,
To find out five sources for each form as well,
To lose them at least twice then send them to Asterisk,
It's something to send you to heraldic hell.
[repeat chorus]
Invected, inflected, saltired and engrailed,
Confuse terminology and you will soon fail.
Damn all of the Gaels and the Celts and those Scots,
For names and devices that look like those knots.
[Repeat chorus]
AElfwyn, current pursuivant delecti
