User:Shammiesgun/Closing Time at the Deepwater Tavern


 * Go Back to Foggy’s Death Tales

Why do you trouble,

this resting keg?

Asking for statements,

words he may lag.

A story you want,

a poem I'll give.

A tale unknown,

one I won't outlive.

Do you believe,

in the ultimate destiny.

A beardless dwarf,

was close to zealotry.

A dwarf without purpose,

strolled the Kingdom.

Alone and friendless,

but also fearsome.

A bright vision came,

with no one to share.

Out from nowhere,

only he did care.

A fight of nether,

between light and dark.

The ending is unknown.

nothing more to remark.

A grateful dwarf,

returned back home.

Entered a library,

searched for a tome.

He read of the Ashbringer,

he read of the Greatfather.

An idea was realized,

and accepted the offer.

He would become a hero,

someone to admire.

One to help,

one to inspire.

No longer alone,

he'll have friends.

A wife for life,

memories to cleanse.

Alas he quit,

never being unique.

Reasons unknown,

it made him weak.

Regret is normal,

for this drunk.

He can't sleep,

on his bunk.

Why he walked away,

we may never know.

He rarely invites,

people to his show.

At night he mourns,

close to his lantern.

the beardless dwarf,

just left the tavern.
