Sheep and Garter Raids
( Tune: "The Ballad of Ben Gay")
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998
Wanted to be a Baaad Boy
That's what I really desired
But at the sheep and Garter Raids
Some ladies had conspired.
They said they'd get the Fat Guys
And cover them all in white.
And try make them respectable
Before the end of the night.
The first they got was Michael
He was schmoozing up the queen
She made him her companion
Such groveling was obscene
The next they got was Goetz
He wanted to get all black
But mostly he got white ones
He had a courtesy attack
Helmut wanted red ones
He planned to drive by schmooze
But the queen gave him her garter
So he consoled himself with booze.
Gareth he got black ones
I really don't know why
Maybe because around Red Heads
He's definitely not shy.
But The Wench, was in top form
At the court out did us all
She inspected all the Scotsmen
To make sure they were regimen-tall.
So another Raid came to an end
It's sad to see it over and done
But no matter the color of garters got
The Fat Guys all had fun.
The Story Behind this Song
One of the funnest events in the kingdom. The battles are based on
collecting as many sheep as you can defend. Also during the Event, the
ladies can buy White, Red, or Black garters the present to Lords for acts
done during the event. White ones are for courtesy and chivalry. Black ones
are dastardly deeds. Red ones are for romantic deeds. Who ever collects the
most of one color wins a medallion that they must wear for the next year.
