Harvey In Long Ago

Long long long long long long very still and longer yet When men were men and women tried hard to forget it The Germanic and Franks used an ancient warrior name Strangely enough no one who used it ever achieved any fame But those who bore this title of pure masculinity of man In battle achieved feats if not defeats no one care to understand No poems, no myths, no tells, no legends or even narly a fable Bare witness to the name of a he man warrior so strong and able Did it mean army battle axe? Or noble brave and strong Was it Germanic? French? Celtic? and than to the Brits belong? Now you can't help but think of that invisable movie bunny In modern times it's seldom used because it sounds sort of funny Harvey in long ago when the world was young and needed heroes Meant might and could instill fright with the bloody axes blows Was a name to boastfully proclaim back than without any shame How times have changed the use and meaning of such a name But I must confess of ancient warrior names of the untamed Fearless, ferocious barbarian Germanic people of no or little fame I like it best for no matter what it meant way way way back than Today it means all around good guy and a really great friend
