SONGS OF ADVENTURE vol 1 By William Lightheart

The Ranger at Elf Gate

Here is a funny thing that I did see A beautiful lass, did entertain me Taunting a ranger at Elf Gate Along with a half-orc, it was great The young ranger it seems was unprepared After examination he appeared to be scared

But of course this was all just in jest No harm would come to the ranger at best The worst thing that would happen to him you see Would be to get dazed a few times magically And maybe be told of a magical spell To be changed in to a frog as well

No, no harm would come to anyone that day Just some fun to be had along the way This story it true without a doubt But to protect those involved, the names are left out And if you become so calloused and hard Spice up you life by watching a bard

A Young Fighter I Met

A young fighter was he Full of vigor and glee A very eager young lad A strange custom he had He liked to expose his feet To new people he would meet

A venturing we did go For him we moved too slow Often we yelled for him to wait But our efforts, they were too late In to the battles he would rush Squashing the creatures in to mush

A word of caution I freely give Slow down today if you want to live You see young fighters, the battles are tough And by yourself you may not have enough Of what it takes to finish the fight And find yourself walking towards the light

A Trip to the Orc Caves

While I was walking by I stopped at the gate to say hi And then was invited to go To a new place I did not know And it just turned out to be An interesting adventure for me

To the Orc Caves in Ferrell we went And by the end of the trip I was spent It really is a dangerous place And I would not have made it if not for the grace Of those who took me along Just so I could sing them a song

I should have known it was going to be bad When some chickens made me a petrified lad Not once but twice that day I was turned to stone along the way Then the traps that were in there The fireballs they threw singed my hair

I must admit it was a race To get out of that terrible place And before we got to the end I found myself again and again Being pulled from the fight And walking towards a very bright light

Four Monks and a Bard

With Four Monks on a venture I did go Compared to them I was quite slow To the Forest of Midnight we went And by the end of the trip I was spent Not from fighting undead you see But because the monks are much faster than me

I really must say watching them was a treat They are so fast and light on their feet With arms and legs flying in the air And undead body parts going everywhere The creatures we fought really had no chance As I sang a song and the monks did their dance

Now the purpose of this little session Was really to teach us all a lesson Our leader's instructions were shown to be true Keeping the group together can prevent harm from coming to you Now this lesson to learn is really not hard Why it can even be taught to a young fighting bard
