Mighty Casey

Verse 1

The field was terribly vicious For the tourney list that day A Baby Knight from Ansteorra Seemed poised to have his way

Verse 2

So when Jago was one-shotted And Bertrond had lost both arms A mood of deep depression Fell over the Outlands Charms

Verse 3

The lesser fighters bereft of lives Made way back to the camp But the older Outlands fighters Would stay to see the champ

Verse 4

They said "If only Casey Had had a chance to fight We'd have a chance to win our luck Against this Rhino-Hide

Verse 5

Then suddenly their eyes lit up A cry rose from their Lords It echoed off the polearms It rattled off the swords

Verse 6

It rumbled through the valley Where Outlandish fighters healed For Casey, Mighty Casey Was about to take the field

Verse 7

His helm was brightly shining His leathers richly tanned His breastplate layered titanium (Which cost him half a grand)

Verse 8

The shield upon his mighty arm Was golden from afar Between his teeth he coolly clenched A really good cigar

Verse 9

The Outlands fighters now revived Together in one light Would cheer the mighty Casey on In this, his greatest fight

Verse 10

There was ease in Casey's manner As his new opponent met His hands were steady as a rock His brow was free of sweat

Verse 11

"One quick blow" he murmured As he looked up to the sky Then bowing only to his Queen He launched into the fight

Verse 12

The cool is drained from Casey's face His eyes are hard and keen And all along his sun-drenched brow Great furrows can be seen

Verse 13

And now he calmly grips his sword And now he makes his throw And Now The Air Is SHATTERED By the force of Casey's blow

Verse 14

Oh somewhere in the Knowne Worlde There is a Happy Place Where Gentle Lords and Ladies Lie oblivious in their grace

Verse 15

But there is no joy in the Outlands Upon this sultry night For the foe of Mighty Casey Has called his great blow "Light"
