Dearest cousins, my fellow Atlantians - I have several verses to a new 
song, but would like to write more, and find I need input from various 
"groups" - like, for example, scribes, or heralds, or rapier (savoir 
faire??), or archery (arrows flying in air??). So I am requesting 
suggestions/ input from any group that would like a verse to add one! or 
suggest words that might work.   I'll give you what I have so far, and 
any/all input is appreciated. It is a question and answer song as follows:

I come from a land that lies over the sea                            A 
land of great richness that calls unto me
Where is this Kingdom beyond all compare?                     Atlantia Fair

Our King and Our Queen are most noble & grand              The mightiest 
of armies is Theirs to command
Where rule these monarchs whose standards we bear?       Atlantia Fair

Our bards & our poets most learned are we                        We'll 
write you a sonnet or sing ribaldry
Where does the verse flow like vin ordinaire?                      
Atlantia Fair

Our cooks and our brewers make marvelous feasts            With tankards 
of ale & with divers roast beasts
Where does the populace dine on such fare?                       
Atlantia Fair

Our maidens are beautiful, witty & wise                              But 
fierce as their men-folk should danger arise
Where dwell these jewels of courtesy rare?                        
Atlantia Fair

Our warriors bold are renowned for their skill                     Let 
no foemen dare cross our borders at will
Where do our enemies DIE in despair?                              
Atlantia Fair

Come journey with me to my magical home                        Wherever 
I travel, wherever I roam
All honor and chivalry can be found where?                        
Atlantia Fair, Atlantia Fair, Atlantia Fair

I'd like to debut it at 12th Night, so please contact me with ideas as 
soon as you think of 'em (as if you didn't have enough to do before 12th 
Night already!!!!). 
And he heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight, Merry Christmas to 
all, and may all blows be light!!  Rosalind
