Daggers

By Dyne

There are many weapons under the sun
But I Dyne the Dagger use only one
It's sharp and it's small and it packs quite a punch
So I always make sure that I carry a bunch
You can use them like darts and throw them quite far
But stabbing vermin up close makes you feel like a star
Swords and spears, dirks and pikes, bows and arrows too
These are not for me though they might be for you
Daggers are wonderful, and daggers are grand
Daggers are the coolest things all in the land
Daggers are amazing so never doubt them

And make sure you don't leave home without them

Cascade Abbey

By Watercress

It's where the snow
Can never freeze
The willows with squirrels
Sway in the breeze
And in every room
The Dibbuns say,"Please
Let us stay forever here
Safe from vermin hidden in leaves."

Protected by otters and badgers
Plus squirrels by the score
Safe from harm, destiny trusted
Made to stay forever more
Where friends and family
Are never from each other tore
And games and feasts
Are never a bore.

Placar Carnilian
Makes a speech,
"Protect fellow abbeydwellers
Make sure our abbey is in reach
For the poor or deprived
Need us for them to teach
They need sturdy friends and homes
Much more than a dry beach."

How Do I Love Thee

By Willow

How do I love thee? I'd rather not say
For why should I write when thine eyes can read?
I write the love blossoms from a small seed
And that it may grow from night on through day
Growing by that of a lake stream or bay
It may grow big or stay small as a bead
I could say who I love but what is the need?

Hon Rosie

By Periwinkle

Oh they call me the Laughing Flower.
Whoahoahaohooah!!! I can't figure out why
The say I laugh jolly to much.
Whoahoahoahooah!!! I wonder why?
They say I could laugh till I'd cry.
Whoahoahoahooah!!! I wonder why?
I'd like to stay but I have to go.
Whoahoahoahooah!!! I have to go.
Whoahoahoahoahoahoahoahoah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waterfall's Secret

By Sparrasword

The waterfall falls, in a waterfall fashion
But underneath the rocks and spray
A place of peace and quiet lays,
Cascade Abbey, come here soon,
And here you'll get foods like prunes,
Apples and oranges, the best meats,
And you'll have the delightful meets,
With all sorts of creatures, great and tall,
From winter to spring to summer to fall.
Come to Cascade Abbey soon

Drinkin' With The Devil and a Pal o' mine

By Southpaw

Once had me a keg o' ale
I drank enough to kill a whale
I drank and drank and drank all day
Until my face was pale

Drink and drink and drink and drink
Drinkety, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink and drink and drink and drink
And a drink for me pal o' mine

Once had me a barrel o' porter
One drink'll make your life ten years shorter
I drank and drank and drank all day
But not in that particular order

Drink and drink and drink and drink
Drinkety, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink and drink and drink and drink
And a drink for me pal o' mine

Once had me a cask o' wine
Ha! Ha! Ha!
The day that I drink wine
Is the day that I dine
With the devil at dark forest's gates
Wouldn't that be swell mates
With the devil and me pal o' mine!

What a Hare must Do
By Tarquin

Oh I am a mountain hare,
Who has the spirit of a bear.
Salamandastrons my home,
And I will search and roam,
For that evil searat clan,
And when I find them i will make a plan
To rid them from the earth.

It is not their fault they are what they are
But how they chose to act.
And now they must pay dearly,
For it is a simple fact.
If I had a choice, I wouldn't kill but rejoice,
Or sit with them for tea.
But i know that that wont happen,
For what they did to me.
They are an evil searat clan,
When i was young i always ran,
But now i know what i must do....
Rid them from the earth.

REDWALL!
By Tarquin

Birds are chirping,
Beez will buzz.
Sun is Shinning,
Blue skies above!
Dibbuns playing,
Some trees swaying,
There is no need for pay,
For we are all at
RREEDDWWALLLL!!!
And we think we just might stay.

Shorestar
By Shorestar

A young hare runs along the sand,
The fastest beast in all the land.
Her gaze on you makes your heart flutter
As it melts your heart to butter.

The wild mystic of the shore
With jewel-like beauty you adore.
Her voice as sweet as the song of a lyre,
Her spirit as wild and wayward as fire.

Her face is known near and far;
She's the wild stargazer known as Shorestar!

Swift Arrow
By Treedart

O swift arrow
Flying through the night.
Be off with you
With the vermin fight.

Hiss like a madbeast
No, keep to your stealth
Be sure you take
All vermin health

Fly from the treetops
Pluck my foe down
I'll know you've not failed me
When vermin lie dead on the ground.

The Mousemaids Ballad
By Treedart

May the fates rest kindly on your shoulders
May the wind carry you light on your feet
May you be protected each single day
Until again we meet at last.

Please think of me when you feel far
From everyone you love.
And see my face smiling down on you
From the heavens high above.

And let my heart carry you on
When you feel like giving up
Push on so you'll come back to us
Be safe, be cheery, be mine.
