Pray hark! To brave Sir Baldrin's tale
Who travelled far to mountain vale
To slay an ogre, fiend or drake
And meet the Lady of the Lake
Dismounting now, Sir Baldrin strode
Further still up mountain road
From nook and cranny, hungry eyes
Did stare, then widen in surprise
And thus it was that Ogre foul
Stepped out, and gave a fearsome growl:
"I'll grind yer bones to make my bread"
The knight replied "I'll have your head!"
Sir Baldrin charged, with greatsword raised
His downward stroke the Ogre grazed,
The monsters club came arcing down
And landed hard on Baldrin's crown
There came a grisly snapping sound
The knight was pitched unto the ground
But Baldrin's tale does not end here
For in the mountains, all is dear
His guts were gobbled then and there
The rest dragged back to Ogre's lair
Sir Baldrin's heart, both stout and true
Took pride of place in wholesome stew
His legs were chewed, his fingers grilled
On hotplate made from Baldrin's shield
Bones were snapped and marrow bled
Then powdered into Ogre bread
Chain-mail fitted Ogre's arm
A goblyn took his lady's charm
His greatsword, once a weapon dire
Spitted meat on open fire
His altar - thrown into the hearth
His breastplate - now a goblyn's bath
His blanket - used to stuff a hole
His skull - a hollow drinking bowl
And so it was that Baldrin's fate
Was met upon an Ogre's plate
Let ye be warned: when eastward bound
Pray take some friends, lest ye be found.
