Redwall Ballad

I like Redwall. correction, I LOVE Redwall!!! HEre's a poem about Redwall that I wrote for Media Arts.


This is a ballad for one and all
Of the brave creatures of Redwall

The gentle and peace-loving mice
Always think it over twice
Before setting careful battle plans
To drive the vermin from the land

Hedgehogs know how to brew
The best ales and cordials too.
They pick the best, to say the least,
For all to drink at Redwall’s feast.

Squirrels are nimble and fast,
Brave fighters to the last,
Their climbing ability makes them perfect spies
For scouting out the enemies.

Moles never leave the ground
Builders and tunnelers that keep Redwall sound
And always willing to lend a hand.
Their accents are hard to understand.

There are the badgers, brave and strong,
Legendary rulers of Salamandastron.
Woe to all who stand in their path
When they are under the Bloodwrath!

Beware of the perilous fightin’ hares.
Any vermin should be scared,
And cooks too, the reason why:
They’ll scoff all your grub in the blink of an eye!

There are the otters, burly and chipper,
Led by one they call the skipper.
Loyal as ever, they’ll come at the call
As fast as possible to save Redwall

The Guosim ride the rivers well,
Paddle in hand, rapier in belt.
Logalog is the one in power
Of The Guerilla Union of Shrews In Mossflower

Woe to the foes
Who threaten those
Within the sandstone walls
When roused to fight
The creatures unite
To defend cherished Redwall


Hope you liked it :P
If you've never read Redwall, well, it only took one book to get me hooked :)
