Done!


Done! A to Z in only six months. It was a challenge to do 26 consecutive initials. I tried to change up the style to make it more interesting. THL Beatrice de Winter helped me with the poem: the appropriate line was written on the back of each scroll.

A is for Axes we throw very hard,
B is for Singers who we call a Bard.
C is for Celtic, the style we adore,
D is for Duty, for service and more.
E is for Exchquer who looks for fine deals,
F is for Feastocrat who make tasty meals.
G is for Garb, the things we wear,
H is for Heralds, who always speak with flair.
I is for Investiture, a coronet to wear,
J is for Jester, a new joke to share.
K is for King, who wears a crown,
L is for Lion, who never backs down.
M is for Maiden, who's favor we wish to earn,
N is for Novice, who has much to learn.
O is for Officers, the people in charge,
P is for Populace, the group at large.
Q is for Queen, who inspires all peers,
R is for Rattan, which make swords and spears.
S is for Scribes, who make beautiful scrolls,
T is for Trencher, which holds many rolls.
U is for Unbelted, not yet a knight,
V is for Viking, so full of might.
W is for Pennsic, the War we all want,
X is for Saltire, a joke for the pursivant (yes, I stole it, but it made me laugh).
Y is for Yeoman, who always stands guard,
Z is for Zen, 'cause rhyming is hard.

THL Beatrice deserves all of the credit for the clever bits; the other 23 lines are my fault.
