The Bembow

By Willem Lightheart

On a jaunt to Deglos did I once go
With interesting results now don’t you know
A part of my purpose is to record in a rhyme
Things that happen to me some of the time
So hear this story that my song does tell
About this armor that does fit so well

We were standing by the road discussing our destination
When a strange little gnome up and started a conversation
He took a long and interested look right at me
And then said you’re the type of that I can see
Of what he meant I was almost afraid to inquire
Lucky for me he was referring to my future attire

This armor I wear is of a special brand
Not one made just by any old hand
Crafted by Candi Bembow a capable young lass
To her namesake I lift up an ale filled glass
Now to me this garment’s value instantly triples
Because it clearly exposes its bearer’s two nipples

It helps make me a little more charming
But that little fact is hardly alarming
Similar to a nymph cloak of the second degree
It’s a fine little feature if you ask me I’d agree
It also helps me with the songs that I sing
And twice as well as an elven song ring

Now if you’d like to get your hands on a pair
Take heed of my warning and friends do beware
The suit of which I sing is not for just anyone you see
The seller himself brought this fact up to me
The tag says it all and that is without a doubt
“It takes a real man to wear a Bembow out”
