Paikin's Song

Oh The Buggar Poor

Oh The Buggar Poor
Said Sopadin
Holding his nose
And looking away
From the mess of what
Had properly been
Sahla as Alex of Earth

Aye they'd gathered together
Tougan in charge
And Sopadin his second
To follow with others
In search of Sahla

Which is where they were
When some flippantly
Sopadin spoke
Of the newest unfortunate
To there be with

Enough of that
Good Sopadin good
He deserves him not
Your cutting wit
And should be mourned
As gone he most surely is
