The Covered Bridge

As we traveled along in our horse and buggy The air smelled heavy with dew Our horses were tired and hungry And most of us were too We only have a days travel at least we might as well rest for a bit So I set up camp by this covered bridge and decided to have a sit My bread and dried meat tasted bland so I washed it down with some mead Set up my bed, and unpacked my things fell asleep in the summer heat I awoke to some movement off in the woods was my mind just playing games i heard nothing more, so I laid my head fell asleep to the crackling flames The fog became dense, much too thick to see A scream shattered through the night i grabbed my things, pulled sword to hand running, ready for a fight I heard the clash of steel ring through the air the smell of battle on the rise I met the enemy head on screaming bloody battle cries Casting soldier after soldier down to the ground I heard their grunts and moans Taking them down quickly Before their brothers hear their groans But there were just too many to hold off The bodies were starting to pile So I grabbed a few guys and got every women and child We ran down the road to the Covered Bridge and hid down in the ravine We heard the horses hoofs overhead and we were never seen
