"HEY SOL!" Squatch shouted
on one grey autumnal morn
" I got a letter in the mail! "
and showed me parchment worn

" It looks like me Mum has sent it "
" I wonder what it means "
Squatch seemed most concerned
as he'd been having stranger dreams.

" You better read it Sol " Squatch said
his eyebrows knotted up on dread
I patted his broard furred shoulder
and this is what I read....

" Hello my lil Squatchy!! Its me
your dear sweet lovvin Mum!
I have to ask for your help and Sol's
I need you once again my son. "

" You're Brother, Ruuger, has gone missing
and I feel the deepest dread "
Squatch swallowed hard and nodded
processing what I had read.

" He went looking for that blasted sword,
the one meant for the King. "
' Excalibur ' Squatch confirmed.
" It's such a foolish thing! "

" You know how terrible he felt...
after good ole Arthur died...
he cried and cried for months..
until his heart was dried.."

" Now Squatchie I know that you are busy,
I know that you've got work to do
but please help your dear ole Mum
You know I'd do the same for you."

So Squatch and I packed up the Hummer
and left a note for Lady and for Fae
' We're off to find my brother! '
' Feed the fish while we're away! '

" and I dream of her always,
even when I don't dream.
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream."
