I was a bit late to edit it so the changes are highlighted in red, i think it scans better and makes more sense.graidawg wrote:The camps of death barbie are hardy and bold
And quite unaccustomed to fear,
But the bravest of all was a man I am told
Named viking, and hero ygmir.
When they needed a star to drink dry the wet bar,
Or to harass a foe from the rear,
Storm fort or redoubt, they had only to shout
For viking and hero ygmir.
This son of the desert in battle aroused,
Could fizz twenty men with one beer.
A wonderful creature, sober or soused,
Was viking and hero ygmir.
Now the heroes were plenty and well known to fame
Who camped with Apokiliptika;
But the bravest of these was a man by the name
Of kernel killbuck the czar.
He could imitate Irving, play poker and pool,
And strum on the Spanish guitar;
In fact, quite the cream of the terminal team
Was kernel killbuck the czar.
The ladies all loved him, his rivals were few;
He could drink them all under the bar.
As gallant or tank, there was no one to rank
With kernel killbuck the czar.
One day this bold Russian had shouldered his gun,
And donned his most truculent sneer;
Downtown he did go, where he trod on the toe
Of viking and hero ygmir.
"Young man," said our hero, "has your life grown so dull
That you're anxious to end your career ?
Vile infidel, know you have trod on the toe
Of viking and hero ygmir."
"So take your last look at sunshine and brook,
And send your regrets to the bar
By which I imply, you are going to die,
Mr. kernel killbuck the czar."
Said kernel, "My friend, your remarks in the end
Will avail you but little, I fear;
For you ne'er will survive to repeat them alive,
no hero or viking ygmir."
Then that bold pagan i fear, drank down his last beer,
With a cry of "to the bar."
And with drunken intent, he ferociously went
with kernel killbuck the czar
They partyied and thrust, they staggered and cussed,
Of beer they drunk a great part;
The beerologist blokes, who do often crack jokes,
Say that hash was well smoked on that spot.
They drunk all that night, 'neath the pale yellow moon
The din, it was heard from afar,
And huge multitudes came, so great was the fame,
Of pagan and the great czar.
As absinthes alive was extracting the life,
In fact he had shouted "Huzzah"
He felt quite drunk as a skunk
so was kernel killbuck the czar
as doc pyro drove by in his pink fronted rv,
Expecting the victor to cheer,
But he only drew nigh just to hear the last sigh
Of viking and hero ygmir.
cryptofishist, too, in her spectacles blue,
Rode up in her new crested car;
sHe arrived just in time to exchange a last line
With kernel killbuck the czar.
There's a rumour we hear this happens each year,
we must not feel fear the moral is clear
for, "virgin when passing, oh pass him a beer
our viking and hero ygmir."
A terminal maiden her lone vigil keeps
'Neath the light of the pale polar star,
And the name that she murmurs so oft as she weeps,
Is kernel killbuck the czar.
