Whoospie-Day [Song]

[Malins Welcome 1519]

To all the people of the Petra:

a response to recent declarations

 

With a shove and a bump a whoospie-day
Got my rowboat lost down the river way
No oars on board and my sails are torn
But at least I'm with the latest telescope adorned

 

With a shove and a bump and a whoopsie-day
It isn't looking good but it's too soon to say

 

With a shove and a bump and a whoops-o-dee
The Queen's declared a cadre for the artistry
And if they asked me (they have not asked me)
To the Vailu Valmiran they would write quickly

 

With a shove and a bump and a whoops-o-dee
My boat begins to sink along with hope for me

 

With a shove and a bump and a whats-this-now
I see there's been authority for ports endowed
A Privy tasked with some docks to build
No one tell them that there's already some just downhill

 

With a shove and a bump and a whats-this-now
I seem to be still floating but I don't know how

 

Yours Truly,

Friend

Prince Paul Alexander of the Petra, a longtime fan of Friend of the River had the song performed for him by a Courtier of the Artisan's flock. He smiled the Petran smile as he recounted the numerous times in his youth that the Adunian man had eased his anxieties with his quill.
