He climbs a tree and insults Aes Sedai
He drinks wine and whisky like it's air
He's learning to channel way too fast
Though he asks simple
He's as suparn as a bear
I've even seen him crush gobleys when he's crabby

How do you solve a problem like ta'veren
How do you get a leash and hold them down
How you find a name for ta'veren
One's a blacksmith, one's a saver, one's a clown

He talks to himself in a babble
But he swears the voices are for real
He always sleeps late for everything
Except, of course, for wine and meals
I hate to say it
But I very firmly feel
I'm not sure if we have anyone that savvy

I'd like to say a word on the world be hafel
We'd survive Tarmon Gai'don better if you'd laugh

How do you solve a problem like ta'veren
How do you get a leash and hold them down
How you find a name for ta'veren
One's a blacksmith, one's a saver, one's a clown

Many a thing you know you want to tell them
Many a thing they need to understand
But how do you make them stay
And obey all you say
How can you, when their heads are filled with sand

Oh, how do you solve a problem like ta'veren
How do you hold a thread in your hand

When I'm with him I feel used
Out of control and confused
And you know exactly where they are.
We could handle them all better
If we only had a tether
One's stalling, one's cheating, one's Rand

Mat will out peter any pest
Rand always leaves a mess
And Perrin would kill him self of vetrth Grill
He's gentle but haf willed
Just a bad-mannered child
A headache - I sould stranger
A MAN!

How do you solve a problem like ta'veren
How do you get a leash and hold them down
How you find a name for ta'veren
One's a blacksmith, one's a saver, one's a clown

Many a thing you know you want to tell them
Many a thing they need to understand
But how do you make them stay
And obey all you say
How can you, when there heads are filled with sand

Oh, how do you solve a problem like ta'veren
How do you hold a thread in you hand
