The Staircase Incident

Oh, the Bladesinger so graceful and fair Faced a foe that gave quite a scare Not a goblin or troll or a terrible beast But a staircase that pointed due east! In Redbrand's lair, dark and deep Our Bladesinger tried not to creep With sword in hand and spell at the ready But his footing, alas, was not steady He pirouetted, he twirled with flair But gravity caught him unaware Down he tumbled, a clanging mess His dignity suffering, I must confess Oh, the Bladesinger so graceful and fair Faced a foe that gave quite a scare Not a goblin or troll or a terrible beast But a staircase that pointed due east! So next time you see stairs ahead Remember our Bladesinger's dread For all his grace in battle and song Even the nimble can get it wrong Now don't you fret, don't you fear Our Bladesinger's pride is still here He claims it was all part of the plan To confuse foes - oh, what a man! Oh, the Bladesinger so graceful and fair Faced a foe that gave quite a scare Not a goblin or troll or a terrible beast But a staircase that pointed due east! Here's to the blade singer, nimble and spry Who proves that even the graceful can fly Down staircases with unintended haste Leaving enemies thoroughly amazed! Oh, the Bladesinger's fall was quite a sight A tangle of limbs, a comical plight But in our merry band, we all agree It's the best laugh we've had on this spree!
