Oh Baadatan

Oh Baadatan

 

Oh Baadatan

Said not with a smile

Or a hint of laughter

But with a steely cold

And dangerous tone

 

But he cared as not

And laughed in his face

With such gleeful glee

That Taevid Kuse

So felt compelled

To strike him down

 

Oh Baadatan

Fatally struck

And quickly too

What was Taevid to do

But run

And far away

 

Oh Baadatan

An ass an ass

He'd never told

Taevid that

He was quite unkillable

And had no reason

To run and run

 

Oh Baadatan

What would he

Oh what would he

For Taevid Kuse

Was not meant as for

The running life

And likely would

See his so ended

If he continued long

 

Charles Petrie
