The Labor Day Weekend Textile Vikings Raid

Hear of the deeds of a band of Northkeep Ladies a'Raidin'
In search of rich fabric plunder that by skilled hands were made
'Pon a holiday where the merchants knew not what was a'waitin'
Twas the Labor Day Weekend Textile Vikings Raid

The leaders of the bold group included; Catrin, Talana, and Anawyn,
Present also were Elizabeth, Olivia, Isabella, and Susan,
Kitty, Dirgelion, Lynn, Ankae and Faolan,
Focused on rich fabric and brilliant sewing notion

Though Ladies of Grace, indeed, and Beauty rare,
As Textile Vikings certainly not mere helpless waifs,
Thoughts of sharing the spoil not their primary care,
"Away from the plum fabric, and ye may return home safe."

Their 'longships' would make their unexpected landfalls,
Then disembarked the Textile Vikings and Stormed inside,
Choice plunder of wools and satins to them would fall,
No corner or bin safe where the spoil might hide

When at last they departed, merchants' stocks closer to spent,
None could tell how long the traders' recovery would take to be made,
An urgent dispatch, perchance, should be sent to the merchants of Ghent,
To replace what was lost in the Textile Vikings Raid
