Blind Badger’s Blight
"Cornelius sent the badger out,"
We come to sing today,
"His fur is tough, his eyes went duff
A year ago in May.
The livid beast beyond our door
Went uptart at the sound
Of howling wolves the king let out.
They followed the Hasker Hound."
"The Hasker Hound of Barlin Buke,"
We come to sing today,
"Was as tribute to the king
A year ago in May.
The knight of Rum had lost his head,
A solemn tragedy.
The serfs across the kingdom mauffed
Without a guard like he."
"They reapt and goored without a hope,"
We come to sing today,
"For without a knight, there would be beasts
To pillit our crops away.
But lo the dadler, Barlin Buke,
Sent us his loyal dog
Who chased the ghouls and fliveret such
From out the yattlinjog."
"But good ol' Corn revealed a plan,"
We come to sing today.
"His pet parfyufe, a lily sort
Would find the flowers of May.
These crops would hummer the peasants plenty
Without a lick of sun,
And pleasant creatures such as he
Need not a meal once done.
"He worked for free! A noble parf!"
We come to sing today.
"Though something dreadful linned about
A year ago in May.
The Hasker Hound of Barlin Buke
Went garvid at the sight
Of a roughspun badger, shaking his torse
In the Mayflower field that night.
The badger stared with fearful deam
As the Hound descended.
His life by frot was held to hokker
If not was surely ended."
"But hie, the Hound just struck the eyes,"
We come to sing today,
"And Corn's poor pet was left for blind
A year ago in May.
But little fear, we had my dear,
The badger could still smell!
He gathered flowers rich and rume
And all of us ate well.
So join the merry tavern din
And come to sing today
As we remember the Blind Badger's Blight
A year ago in May."
