Introduction: Based on a well-known traditional tune (don't make me say it...you know where it's from), Therrilliar wrote this song one day in the Riverhaven bard guild just after it opened. A group was sitting in the guild quite drunk when someone made up words to a traditional tune. Therrilliar then quickly countered with this improvisation.

The song is still good for a few laughs and a lot of groans!

Script [may be used by any bard as long as Therrilliar is credited - please note that the ACT commands are gendered for females, changes "her" to "his" to male them]
