| What she doesn't know about won't hurt her...or me!
And now for something completely different: an SCA filk song about...
WEAPONS AT THE DOOR
(c) 1974 W. J. Bethancourt III
Being a Polemic concerning the alleged Custom of the West Kingdom
concerning checking your Weapons at the Door of the Revel Hall. As the
Satire is the Weapon of the Bard, this said Polemic is to be checked at
the Door, along with swords, knives, redheaded Ladies and other such
Deadly Things.....
As I roved out to Western Lands to take the Western Air
I went into a Revel Hall and I saw a Twelfth Night there.
But I was halted at the gate by a Privy Consellor
(that's the man who tells the King of the West how to go to
the bath room)
who told me I would have to check my Weapons at the door.
As I, in my astonishment, stood hung on tenter-pegs
a Knight came in whose Prowess hung down between his legs.
The Doorman grabbed a greatsword and he struck the Knight full sore
and gave him a receipt; he left his weapon at the door!
A Bard was next whose goodly Voice has entertained us all;
but he, too, was prevented from entering the Hall,
and told he could not carry deadly weapons on the floor.
He left his Voice and Harp among the weapons at the door.
A Master entered graciously, a man we all know well,
who holds a 3rd Dan Black Belt, though this he'd never tell.
The Master struggled valiantly, the Master cursed and swore
but he left his hands, and feet, as weapons at the door.
The company was jovial, although a bit dismayed
for lack of proper cutlery, down to the smallest blade;
for even teeth and fingernails, each can be used in War
were cut, and pulled, and left behind, as weapons at the door!
And has their King not loyal Knights that He must be afraid
of brawling in his Hall and of Assassin's bloody blade?
The Rights of Men to carry Arms at least WE'VE not foreswore
and a POX on them that made the Rule of Weapons at the Door! | |

| WOW, who could top that! Considering the media change and all, more or less, to what sort of tune is it sung? Obviously ballad, but like any other...? | |

| AFAIK it's his own tune. Quite simple, but I have no way to reproduce it in words... | |
