Da Luckee Stabba-Git

De-de-de-dere waz a git who waz a Khan,

once knifin’ dead sum damn orphan!

Da git went wild wiv stabba-spear,

an’ guttin’ anee who came near!

Sparin’ only woolfie boy,

fer stabbin’ waz ‘is joy!

Stabba-git he got ta ride alone,

‘cos mates of his dey all went gone!

No wanta ‘im near back or neck,

ya alweyz had ta double-check!

Make sure he didna lurk behind,

got stabbed if ya were blind!

De-de-de-dere waz a git who waz a Khan,

once knifin’ dead sum damn orphan!

Da git went wild wiv stabba-spear,

an’ guttin’ anee who came near!

Sparin’ only woolfie boy,

fer stabbin’ waz ‘is joy!

Stabba-git he got ta face a foe,

who didna die fer stick or bow!

Da big hat carped fer ‘em ta charge,

sum deemon ‘eavy as a barge!

An’ just not un but too an’ three,

da uvver gitz dey glared wiv glee!

De-de-de-dere waz a git who waz a Khan,

once knifin’ dead sum damn orphan!

Da git went wild wiv stabba-spear,

an’ guttin’ anee who came near!

Sparin’ only woolfie boy,

fer stabbin’ waz ‘is joy!

Stabba-git he got ta lookit up,

as anuvver Khan lost his hickup!

Stabbin’ inta bloodee deemon hull,

Khan got handed back ‘iz skull!

Da deemons’ eyes dey did all burn,

an’ it’s stabba-git’s turn!

De-de-de-dere waz a git who waz a Khan,

once knifin’ dead sum damn orphan!

Da git went wild wiv stabba-spear,

an’ guttin’ anee who came near!

Sparin’ only woolfie boy,

fer stabbin’ waz ‘is joy!

Stabba-git he got ta madly ride,

deemon choppas swingin’ wide!

Cacklin’ like sum mad git-goon,

got a stab an’ not a spoon!

Yet he waz still sum luckee git,

at deemon he did spit!

De-de-de-dere waz a git who waz a Khan,

once knifin’ dead sum damn orphan!

Da git went wild wiv stabba-spear,

an’ guttin’ anee who came near!

Sparin’ only woolfie boy,

fer stabbin’ waz ‘is joy!

Stabba-git he got ta bloodee fight,

stabbin’ deemon in ‘iz sight!

An’ woolfie boy jumped rabid mad,

bitin’ frough dat armour-clad!

Da deemons beaten all ran home,

droolin’ blood an’ foam!

De-de-de-dere waz a git who waz a Khan,

once knifin’ dead sum damn orphan!

Da git went wild wiv stabba-spear,

an’ guttin’ anee who came near!

Sparin’ only woolfie boy,

fer stabbin’ waz ‘is joy!

Stabba-git he got ta boss it out,

stabbin’ anee who did shout!

Waz livin’ like sum big hat god,

frowin’ gitses in da mud!

Growin’ fat an’ warty scabbed,

until he got stabbed!

Dînadan:

Nice work; there’s a couple of broken rhymes, but that’s probably fitting - can’t imagine hobgoblins caring about eloquent poetry :wink:

Admiral:

Thanks, Dînadan! You’re right about Hobgoblin shoddiness, but would you like to point out the broken rhymes? As I’m not a native English speaker it might aid me a lot in improving creative writing like this. :slight_smile:

Dînadan:

Khan/orphan

Alone/gone

God/mud

Not sure the best way to convey the differences; unfortunately I don’t speak Sweedish, otherwise I’d give Sweedish words they rhyme with, so I guess I’ll have to try with other English words.

Khan rhymes with barn; orphan with fun.

Alone rhymes with own; gone with on.

God rhymes with odd; mud with dud.

Hope that helps (of course accent can have some impact on pronunciation so don’t take these as 100% definitive).

Admiral:

Thank you very much, Dînadan! This is much appreciated. :slight_smile:

I’ll remember this for future works, but for this one I’ll take cover behind accent, Hobgoblin language shoddiness or intentionally odd pronunciation for the sake of the stanzas. :wink:

Welcome and lol - when in doubt, blame it on the hobgoblins :P
