<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:Songs|Lament for Cuthbert, a Deserving Fowl]]<br /> ''The fourth page: smeared with smelly green, and the writing blurred by salty tears. The hand is clearly shaken. ''<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> All great philosophers of the ages beg&lt;br&gt;<br /> To know: which came first? Chicken or egg?&lt;br&gt;<br /> But whatever the answer to this exciting debate,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Its greatest descendant is now very late.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Cuthbert, O Cuthbert, how lost am I,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Without your squawks, your gleaming eye,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Your tubular neck, your feathered wing,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Oh, what sadness your end does bring.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> How noble in life, were you as a cock,&lt;br&gt;<br /> What joy did you cause, with the sound of your &quot;bock&quot;?&lt;br&gt;<br /> The world is dark, dull in the extreme,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Without you around, to make it a dream.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And yet with what strength were you ready to fight,&lt;br&gt;<br /> To face down your foe, to do what is right?&lt;br&gt;<br /> To save your poor master, with a squawk and a peck,&lt;br&gt;<br /> To let him escape, while a trog wrung your neck.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> But vengeance was ours! Death came to that trog,&lt;br&gt;<br /> A watery grave, there in the bog.&lt;br&gt;<br /> O Cuthbert, O Martyr, you died not in vain.&lt;br&gt;<br /> What Avlis has lost, Hades shall gain.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> From [[The Collected Writings of Izrick]].</div>
