[MR] verses

Greetings-

Heh.  Neat song, Mistress Rosalind!  Here are a few contributions of my own.  
Take 'em or leave em-

Our great academics, our scholars and teachers
are some of our best and most valuable features 
A Kingdom whose thinkers could outhink Voltaire?
Atlantia Faire!

Our brewers make cordials and meads and beer
and fill up the kingdom with laughter and cheer
whose brewers brew brews that can truly impair?
Atlantia Faire!

Our merchants are many, great wares do they carry
their storefronts designed to make customers tarry
whose sellers believe in a great Laissez faire?
Atlantia faire!

The exchequer frets, the exchequer fusses
counting up numbers on great abacuses
whose checkbook is balanced with utmost of care?
Atlantia faire!

Equestrian skill is abundantly seen
our horses and riders are skilled and serene
who is unequalled with stallion and mare?
Atlantia fare!

and. one with a more contemporary flair, but being a chronicler I had to 
include it . . .

Our Chroniclers gather the news from the field
with words as their weapons and truth as their shield
what land would have guillotined Jayson Blair?
Atlantia Faire!


In service (and looking very forward to hearing your song at 12th night, with 
or without any of my verses),

-Dunstan LeHeryngmongere
Royal Bard of Atlantia
