Three Drunken Fat Guys

(By Gorlan of the Redlands, 1997)
(To the tune of "Three Drunken Maidens")

    There were three drunken Fat Guys
    Who attended court one night.
    They'd been at it several hours
    They really were a sight.
    They brought with them
    All kinds of beer
    From Bock to guinness stout.
    They also brought a keg of ale
    To ensure they'd not run out.

    The room was called to order
    As the King and Queen came in
    On legs no longer steady
    They stood and bowed and then
    When given leave, they sat back down
    While drinking in the back
    Since standing up was such hard work
    Their mugs they did attack

    Then in came two more Fat Guys
    Who joined them in the rear
    They didn't come empty handed
    They brought a case of beer
    As court progressed the beer ran out
    And they had to switch to ale
    The Herald started sweating
    He was nervous, you could tell.

    But then the Herald started smiling
    As the Queen whispered in his ear
    He then called out for Michael
    Their leader to Appear
    They said that he was courteous
    And chivalrous and more
    When they made him a Queen's Companion
    All Jaws just hit the Floor.

    One thought came to each Fat Guy
    "Michael Say it isn't So!"
    All had to drink down more ale
    To cushion off the blow
    By the end of court, the ale was gone
    And they were on the floor
    But since they were all Fat Guys
    We rolled them out the door.


History. The Story Behind this Song

 Pretty much happened as the song went. In 1996 Michael of Aquitane (another of the original four and the one who came up with the name) was made a Queen's Companion being described at the personification chivalry and Grace in the Kingdom (You have to have met him to understand why half the kingdom was rolling on the floor). The King and Queen were trying hard to make us respectable. They didn't.
