The Trembling Townmaster's Tale

There once was a coward named Wester Whose courage couldn't be any lesser He'd hide in his house Quiet as a mouse This gutless Phandalin jester! Oh, Harbin Wester, what a disgrace! A leader who can't show his face He trembled and shook Till his post was forsook Now Phandalin's found a new pace! This Wester, he loved all his gold But bravery can't be bought or sold He sent others to fight While he hid out of sight A craven whose reign's now old! Oh, Harbin Wester, what a disgrace! A leader who can't show his face He trembled and shook Till his post was forsook Now Phandalin's found a new pace! In Phandalin, Wester was known For courage that's weak to the bone He dodged every task Till folks dropped his mask This coward's now off his throne! Oh, Harbin Wester, what a disgrace! A leader who can't show his face He trembled and shook Till his post was forsook Now Phandalin's found a new pace! So Wester, once Phandalin's shame Has finally lost at his game He quivered so much He's now out of touch At least he lived up to his name!
