"'God's in his heaven, all’s right with the world,' whispered Anne softly." And then ... the dragons arrived. - (Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery)
Sing, Goddess, Achilles' rage,
Black and murderous, that cost the Greeks
Incalculable pain, pitched countless souls
Of heroes into Hades' dark,
And left their bodies to rot as feasts
For dogs and birds, as Zeus' will was done.
Begin with the clash between Agamemnon—
The Greek warlord—and the dragons.

Speak, memory—
Of the cunning hero,
The wanderer, blown off course time and again
After he plundered Troy's sacred heights.
Speak
Of all the cities he saw, the minds he grasped,
The suffering deep in his heart at sea
As he struggled to survive and bring his men home
But could not save them, hard as he tried—
The fools—destroyed by their own recklessness
When they ate the oxen of Hyperion the Sun,
And that god's dragons snuffed out their day of return.

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
The one sang high and the other sang low
The other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o.
It was upstairs downstairs the lady went
She put on her suit of leather-o
Then there came a cry from the open door
“Oh lord - here now stand three dragons-o!”

I'll tell you a tale - now draw near,
We were down at the pub with a beer,
When, such a great same,
It all burst into flame.
Oh bugger, the dragons were here.

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, until the dragons arrive.
I think all the dragons have finished arriving now.

Ooh, I'm not too late am I?
Although we were all fired up to begin with, I guess we didn't want this game to drag on for too long.
I'm in shock. A game starting and ending on MC5 in less than five years. Quite a smaugasbord of fun, though.
