Some go adventuring for piles of the gleaming gold
And if they find it, guffaw with an excess of glee
And some go adventuring to wreak revenge delicious and cold
But I do it for the immensely satisfying hilt-deep burying of the snickersnee— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 9, 2019
It is pleasant and dreamy, spectral, to float
Of life’s needs, pains, and concerns finally free
But I prefer to haunt a proper castle, with a good deep moat
With plenty of room to turn my victims into debris— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 9, 2019
Mine is the task to slay all adventurers who intrude
And add their prepared corpses to the giant’s dinner bowls
Sometimes he likes them raw, sometimes stewed
And for snacks, he shares with me their sundered souls— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 10, 2019
