Sorry Amitabho, 'throne' doesn't rhyme with 'cave'.

Quick question: Cacame, does that rhyme with 'came' or 'may'? I'm assuming it rhymes with came.

6. But ended up walking into acid rain.


EDIT: Well Dermonster broke his own rules. The first 2 lines posted were AA, and Derm posted a B instead of correcting the second post and posting another A. Besides look at the title; if you know the song, AABB is the first thing that comes to mind. I vote my line 6 be ignored, your line 7 Qloos becomes line 6 and we continue with AABB.

^ You're number 6.

7. Then something burst from the deep, and it wasn't tame.


[Note to SK Ren, he didn't have to rhyme 'throne' with 'cave' he had to rhyme 'throne' with 'playground' As it's ABAB.  You're playing it as AABB.  Gotta Rhyme the Alternating Line.  Regardless, your block was still legitimate as his rhyme didn't rhyme with line 2 or 3.]

[P.S. Thanks for the bump dermonster.  Keepin the songs a rolling]

[It's the follow up posters personal choice whether he want's to enforce the rules or not.  The rules will not be changed mid song, regardless of how much previous rule breaking there has been.]

Dwarven Drinking Songs V2
Write the whole song yourself.
Write as many songs as you like, vote for your favourite(s) all day Sunday PST via private messaging me your votes, (you can vote for yourself.)  Remember to title your songs for refrence.

The theme is "Dwarven Hospital"



Soapy Retribution.
Oh, don't worry for a second about your - missing limbs,
I'm more concerned about your - green oozing skin,
The gastly goblin must of stored his sword - in a latrine,
Your friends went and cut him down - near an oak tree,

His fat turned to tallow we made a cake - of yellow soap,
Using his bones we made splints - please don't mope,
We'll serve you a roast of meat - from your foe,
His skin we've flayed and tanned - into leather rope,

We've done all this to appease you - becase you see,
Your legs we'll have to amputate - above the knee,
As a doctor I'm a right lazy sod - stuffying my face,
This meat is quite tough - as you should know,
It's your legs after all.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Oh the mountain's heart, it beats with gold.
In lands that make your blood run cold,
we labor to climb its granite crest,
to make our home its rocky breast.

And oh, the politics and immigrants,
the fisherdwarf and baroness,
well we try to accomodate...
but at any rate...

It was the pick, and the axe,
the hammer and our fists!
It was the muscle and the might,
and the beard of old McUrist!

It was the spear, and the crossbow,
the shield and the sword!
We're the ones who built this fortress
and fought the goblin horde!

So bring a dragon, bring some giants,
bring the hydras in tow.
We'll teach you more about magma
than you'll ever want to know!

Because we dug it, we built it,
we'll be damned if you're takin' it!
'Tis our home! 'Tis our pride
underneath the sky!

Even if we're decked in mud
we'll fight like Ironblood!
We'll bite, and we'll claw!
We'll sock you in the jaw!
We'll slash, and We'll bash!
We'll pummel and do more,
until you're just a sack of bony bloodied gore!

We're the dwarves of this fortress!
Challenge us if you must!
But you'll never, -EVER- take it
-AWAY- -FROM- -US-!


The Hardy Dwarf's Chant, to go along with some well-deserved spirits in the face of impending doom.
Intended to be sung more slowly towards the beginning to quickly pick up pace towards the end, often causing the more heavily intoxicated to mumble or grumble loudly, only to all join in at the paused and powerful end.
Shameless plug to Captain Mayday and Nist Akath, aka the Epic of Ironblood. Although, by now, the name should be known to even squirrels.
Hope it works for everyone.
