The clash of saber ratt'ling means the joust's begun again The armor has been donned once more protection from the pen Combatants mount their words as steeds and pray they still be swift that they bring laughter to the land, accept our humble gift A knowledge of the forms shall serve as this our battleground Ajudged commensurate with skill let merriment abound To be part of tradition set those centuries ago My good friend Balladeer and I appears shall stage a show Oh, glorious absurdity, it's purpose to amuse A comical endeavor which means neither of us lose What say thee Balladeer my friend returned from Lilliput if thee are truly "good to go" do with this as thou wouldst |

So now the battle has begun. You'll feel my trusty sword. I rise up to the battle cry Besides that, I've been bored. My blade will kiss the whetting stone Be sharp for Doctor Moose. I only hope I will not be Charged with child abuse!!!  |

Michael. Thank you kind sir. The "Balladeer" is more than a truly worthy opponent,from this point on, I must always be on my guard. Doc suthern, Nay, lass, put thy purse away, the joust is open to all Pipdom free of charge ( and no Balladeer, that's not the same as a "Free for all). Doc Sunshine, You can sit right up front too, something tells me "seating" may not be a problem, lol. Doc Spiros, Welcome good sir, the festivities have already begun now that the opening ceremony is out of the way. I see my good friend Balladeer has arrived and already suggested I may be somewhat "immature" for such an undertaking. History alone shall be the judge of that. Enjoy. Doc |

While true my friend I may not be like you as long of tooth You too shall feel the rapiers' point of wit, for be it sooth While I've not racked up years as yet that soon shall turn to dust I've kept my armor in repair not as yours left to rust My word-steeds have been well cared for they're chomping at the bit enough of bluff and blustering good Sir, get on with it! The battle grounds have been well staged the flying monkees are enraged forget that desert camel-lot it's time to show off what you got Doc gives the tin-man such a brain he'll never have to doubt again that even he could persevere against the one called "Balladeer" The mighty "Doc" gives "Lion" heart that he forgives those shoddy parts of "Deers" insipid poetry best stand back folks, it's messy, see, and better yet, it's all for free yep, step right up and you can see this may be quite the jousting match, a "Toast" to you Sir, down the hatch.

In the Emerald City's courtyard Munchkins go about their day A renaissance type festival is planned and underway Complete with field of battle where two poets will compete Step right this way dear Pipsters we've still plenty of box seats Bright banners wave as breezes waft through emerald alleyways A cloudless sky of vivid blue accents the sun's bright rays Which shimmer off the yellow bricks in turn which shine like gold as thousands fill the grandstands to see how this will unfold Atop the great reviewing stand we've got the whole Oz gang Including little Dorothy who now speaks in urban slang "This sure ain't Kansas, Toto, Yo c'mon youse bums, let's start this show!" This being said it would appear we now await Sir Balladeer. |
