they're off to see the wizard  
a quest beckons, I'm sure  
against a giant lizard  
so sings the troubadour

they're leaving on the 'morrow  
and can't send their regards  
and so to drown their sorrow  
strong ale, a deck of cards

the serving wench is comely  
she winks, a shake of tail  
the knight, no longer glumly  
sips slowly on his ale

then grabs her hand and signals  
like "do we have a deal?"  
she slaps him, "not so simple"  
and on his groin, her steel

he kisses her, with feeling  
and then they disappear  
up for a night of healing  
tomorrow'll soon be here
