Subject:      Forge Me A Sword (bad poem)

        This crawled out of my brain recently.  I'm thinking it might not be
bad set to music, maybe a Heather Alexander-ish pissed-off-sounding
Celtic-type tune.

        Forge me a sword, and I want you to try
        To sharpen it well when you're done.
        For I learned yesterday that I cannot die,
        And they say there can be only one.

        Forge me a sword, for I need to defend
        Against those who'll come seeking my head.
        And we'll fight 'till the inescapable end,
        That leaves one alive, and one dead.

        Forge me a sword, there can be only one,
        And too much time already has passed.
        For though we all must fall, ere the Game can be done,
        I'll be damned if I won't be the last.
