Theatrical Muse; Topics 153 and 151 Sunrise with a Moral

[singindemonhq]

The trouble with dimensional portals is that you can never be quite sure where they’ll lead. Some worlds seem very like your own dimension – but there are differences – oh yeah.

Sunrise

So I’ll sing you a song
Of a Maid and Knight,
And the meeting he planned,
At the day’s earliest light,
And he sang at her window,
I’ll take no gainsay,
I’ll come for you at sunrise,
Though Hell bar the way.

It was dark at the window,
With dawn coming soon,
With the stars hid by clouds
And the least of the moon.
And the maid at the window,
She heard the Knight say
I’ll come for you at sunrise,
Though Hell bar the way.

Not all in that dimension
Is quite what it seems,
The Maid knew the Knight
Would be haunting her dreams.
She knew too many Maids
That he’d come for, they say.
So she sent for a Demon
To steal her away.



Now, I take the summoner
That they should heed,
But a maidenly vampire
Is not what I need.
So I took my leave,
And events took their course,
But the maid ate the Knight,
And his squire stole his horse!

It’s a happier ending
Than readers may feel,
For the Knight died a hero,
The Maid got a meal,
The Squire was a serf,
With no real wish to roam,
And he mounted the charger
And made his way home!

Now the bards sing a song
Of a Maid and Knight,
And the meeting he planned,
At the day’s earliest light,
As he sang at her window,
I’ll take no gainsay,
I’ll come for you at sunrise,
Though Hell bar the way.


And the moral of the story
Is one you ought to know
Be sure you carefully read the plot
Before you start the show!
