 The Song of the Page School
 (To the same tune as the Kipling poem,
 "We are the Little Folk" (Pict Song).)
 
 You never look where we've led.
 We have to come when you call.
 You pat us on top of our head.
 Then you say we are too small.
 
 We are your children, that's all
 Not halflings, or munchkins, or such.
 And we would like to play ball
 Is that requesting so much?
 
      Chorus:
 
     We are the little folk, we.
     Too little to have any say.
     But leave us alone and you'll see.
     How we will laugh as we play.
 
 Squirrels perched high on a twig.
 Swallows aloft in the sky
 Puppies that tumble and dig
 Otters so clever and spry.
 
 They play, and we want to know why,
 Why are we pent in this school,
 Learning "be still" or "reply"
 Or how to behave as a Fool.
 
 Chorus
 
 Yes, we will work if we may.
 We'll carry and fetch with great zeal,
 And patiently wait all the day 
 If what we're doing is real.
 
 You work, but you're here to have fun
 And we want to be just like you.
 You dance and you fight in the sun
 And we want to play as you do.
 
 Chorus
 
                 --Frederick of Holland
                   Bard of the Mists
                   August, XXVI
