The Olde Warder and Hen

Author: Jaim al'Bearach

It's this Friday night in the Olde Warder and Hen..
it's rowdy and loud and filled with mayhem..
there are Gaidin, Accepted, Soldiers and Aes Sedai at play..
whilst Novices and Recruits enjoy their free days..

The Citizens are present under Constable Kyla's watchful eye..
and the Mayor looks on smiling as he passes on by..
So this sets the scene as we wait for one more guest..
Jaim al`Bearach, that incorrigible rogue aka as the pest!

First stop for our rogue are the wonderful Whites..
whos puzzles of logic confound you all night..
There's Raleien and Shyana, both having good fun..
whilst their twisters and teasers baffle everyone..

Second stop for our rogue are the studious Browns..
who're thorougly enjoying their night on the town..
there's Elyna the Keeper and her amazing staff..
always helpful, considerate and good for a laugh..

Third stop for our rogue are the glorious Yellows..
their cookies and teas make you merry and mellow..
There's Faylinn and Inanna who're healers of the best..
I'm nearly convinced they could even heal death..

Fourth stop for our rogue are the smiling Grays..
they almost make me want to better my ways..
There's Jenarra and Melearlin always calm and collected..
yet they often surprise me by doing something unexpected..

Fifth stop for our rogue is the one that he dreads..
for it is time to go visit with the awesome Reds..
There's Yenie and Morwynna with a new batch of hot wax..
telling some poor Citizen it won't hurt a bit just relax..

Sixth stop for our rogue are the amazing Blues..
who's plots and exploits often appear in the news..
There's Mhor and Manora engaged in small talk..
Whilst Blue Warder wannabe's attempt the buff walk..

Seventh stop for our rogue are the stunning Greens..
who are relaxed whilst poised for action it seems..
There's Faeril, Ne'Mireth, Aryawnah and Lexie..
all standing around looking ever so sexy..

Last stop for our rogue is Mother so serene..
enjoying herself, looking more than a queen..
her 7 banded stole neatly arranged on her shoulders..
she watches all of her children from youngest to oldest..

I stop before her and raise my glass in toast..
to you, to everyone here and to those I love most..
A Happy New Year to you all, may it bring you the best..
but now I must be off to my bed for some rest..

As I depart with a smile and with my head held high..
an amazing thing has happened and I'll tell you why..
I managed to spend an entire night without going on report..
yippee.. no punishment caused by a silly retort..

So spare a thought for me as we lie in our beds..
when dreams of tomorrow rush through our sweet heads..
there may yet be hope for the one known as the pest..
if he continues like this he'll be one of the best..
