This poem was written for Baroness Selena D’Ambra for her
Order of the Troubador which was awarded in the East Kingdom on 10/2/04 at the
Coronation of Thorvald Halvorsen and Svava Thorgeirsdottir.
The poem is in iambic pentameter (think "Sing a Song of
Sixpence"). The last line doesn't
quite scan, but I had to get the "required information" into the
poem. Just say the letters AS instead of
Anno Societatis – it helps with singing it all.
By Banbharun Temair ingen Muiredaich/ Ann A. Straut
There is an Eastern filker
Who sings for the King
Making up her silly songs
She leaves us all laughing
No topic is sacred
From Selena D’Ambra
She’s even sings songs of
Royalty faux pas
Now Thorson will reward her
With Svava by his side
King and Queen of the East
With word-fame they abide
Today’s Their Coronation
They make her a Troubador
In the Barony of Carolingia
22 October AS 34
