Blind Badger’s Blight

"Cornelius sent the badger out,"

We come to sing today,

"His fur is tough, his eyes went duff

A year ago in May.

The livid beast beyond our door

Went uptart at the sound

Of howling wolves the king let out.

They followed the Hasker Hound."

"The Hasker Hound of Barlin Buke,"

We come to sing today,

"Was as tribute to the king

A year ago in May.

The knight of Rum had lost his head,

A solemn tragedy.

The serfs across the kingdom mauffed

Without a guard like he."

"They reapt and goored without a hope,"

We come to sing today,

"For without a knight, there would be beasts

To pillit our crops away.

But lo the dadler, Barlin Buke, 

Sent us his loyal dog

Who chased the ghouls and fliveret such

From out the yattlinjog."

"But good ol' Corn revealed a plan,"

We come to sing today.

"His pet parfyufe, a lily sort

Would find the flowers of May.

These crops would hummer the peasants plenty

Without a lick of sun,

And pleasant creatures such as he

Need not a meal once done.

"He worked for free! A noble parf!"

We come to sing today.

"Though something dreadful linned about

A year ago in May.

The Hasker Hound of Barlin Buke

Went garvid at the sight

Of a roughspun badger, shaking his torse

In the Mayflower field that night.

The badger stared with fearful deam

As the Hound descended.

His life by frot was held to hokker

If not was surely ended."

"But hie, the Hound just struck the eyes,"

We come to sing today,

"And Corn's poor pet was left for blind

A year ago in May.

But little fear, we had my dear,

The badger could still smell!

He gathered flowers rich and rume

And all of us ate well.

So join the merry tavern din

And come to sing today

As we remember the Blind Badger's Blight

A year ago in May."
