Thumper
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the Tune of "Windy")
What is that weapon smashing my helmet
So crumpled that I can no longer see
My once sturdy shield is now in two pieces
Friedrich is using Thumper
(Chorus:)
A two handed war hammer
Thumpers a real head slammer
I'll you in all candor
When it comes down
You're in the ground
Just look at Friedrich there in the melee
Pounding on every body he meets
Soon there're all going to be six feet under
Friedrich is using Thumper.
(Chorus)
The list field is full of bodies embedded
Into the ground by two feet or more
Just like tent pegs into a grape pounded
Friedrich is using Thumper
(Chorus)
The Story Behind this Song
One of the fat guys, Friedrich Karl von Wolfstein, fights with a huge two handed war hammer. In wars he likes to hide in tree and jump out and pound people with it. One of Michael of Aquitane's more notorious doings was to cheer on a friend in a
crown tourney - shouting "Pound him into the ground like a tent peg into a
grape." After his friend won and became king he augmented Michael's arms
to a tent peg going through a grape.
