an old T2A poem I found

Walk upon the Trail of Tears
And view the broken dead
Of adventurers who faced their fears
And pools of blood they shed

The snakemen are a fearsome lot
Now you've been warned my friend
On the Trail of Tears they hiss and plot
And travelers find their end


Haiku:


Fearsome Scaled Tower
Ophidian Avenger
The Bringer of Tears


Thine eye's final sight
Ophidian Matriarch
Destroyer of Hope


Limerick:


She tamed a young Imp she called Bruce
And told him his magic to loose
Not a thing got away
From Jasmine that day
'cause Bruce turned them all into juice
(a true story)


Nursery Rhymes:
[Papua children used to taunt the Mummies]


Mummy's mommy
Looks like Tommy
Rummy tum tum
Hey! Watch the Mummy run!


Lava Lizards
They eat Wizards
Rummy tum tum
Hey! Watch the Mummy run!


Stone Gargoyles
Give you boils
Rummy tum tum
Hey! Watch the Mummy run!


[They also used to tease the Ophidian younglings]


Ophidian kids come out and play
We can't wait around all day
Slither up to me
Thinkin' you could eat free
Throw a pebble
Throw a rock
Run, run away!


Ostard, Ostard where'd you hide?
Come out now. We want a ride
But if we find you Wyvern you
We'll jump on up and ride you too!


[Funny how you don't see children around any more.]


The Ophidian Slinker is rare
He comes to Papua with care
Under cover of night
Snatches children from sight
And slithers them back to his lair


Three little Imps went out to play
They met a Tank Mage on the way
How do you do sir? They did say
No little Imps came home that day
