By Hamsgard. Quite a special poem, this one, as it was made as a challenge. On Green Dragon Night Master Hamsgard was given two topics and a location, "Cat, Beer and Duck Pond", and within 10 minutes he had made the following poem which he then recited: As I walked out in Little Delving, I spied upon a cat, he moved fast, advancing, a duck upon his back! I shouted to the feline, making such a bee-line,
"What is that there? Upon your hair? Or am I raving mad?" He looked so sad, and said with a frown, "a duck is a duck, a cluck is a cluck,
and into pond he goes, for I walk daily, for beer gaily, in the name of prose!" Well I sat there, Without a care, and watched the curious scene,
whatever could it mean? a cat, a beer and a duck pond, How could I respond? "Well good luck to you! For beer I drink too!" and went upon my way, Now all have a great Green Dragon day! Some information about the artist: Hamsgard is a wandering bard who goes from town to town in the Shire working for food and lodging. |
