Oh lord, won't you give me an SCA event
I can't afford travel, I just paid the rent
Worked hard on my garb
And made a Viking tent
Oh lord, won't you give me an SCA event

Oh lord, won't you give me a woods battle please
I've practiced my tactics, and fighting on my knees
I've been exercising,
I last longer 'till I wheeze
Oh lord, won't you give me a woods battle please

Oh lord, won't you help me with my A & S
My illumination, it just looks a mess
I've even tried gilding,
It just adds to the stress
Oh lord won't you help me with my A & S

Oh lord, won't you give me an Award of Arms
My friends all have titles, I'm full of alarm
I've worked hard at each event
Got nowhere with charm
Oh lord won't you give me an Award of Arms

Oh lord, won't you let me win the Crown Tourney
I promise I'll travel, the whole land I'll see
I'll mortgage my castle
To raise the money
Oh lord, won't you let me win the Crown Tourney

Oh lord, won't you help me to pass my device
I've done all the research and paid the price
Sadly the heralds
Have sent it back twice
Oh lord, won't you help me to pass my device.

There had been some discussions on the Drachenwald mailing list about the lack of events this winter. This prompted Niall of Stone Ford to write the first three verses. When I read them, I added three more. There was another discussion going on about Royal visits at remote sites. I know some people who have been waiting for 3 or more years to get their devises passed. The 4th verse I started, and Lord Niall improved. I have come across many folks who have not gotten their AoA's mainly because every one assumes that they already have one.
