While Waiting For Him

While Waiting for Him Wanst there was a prithe lady And to all of her woes pray thee Loved one king's kind son was kilt Body was thrown in the water a jilt. Out uv all of her mind she went And tender heart was totally spent Until something happened without delay Many good fairies had taken her away. Then an unheard of thing appeared Out in the lake and seemed so weird White trout appeared never there before No one had seen from long lake's shore. 'Twas a pretty fairy some people thought To harm precious fish they had not ought But a wicked soldier scoffed at them And caught trout and took it home with him. Did put delicate fish into a frying pan Never would cook so he flipped it again Should have left fish and see it swim away He decided to eat poor fish anyway. Soldier stuck white trout with a fork And a murdering screech it did uncork A lovely, beautiful lady was now near Blood on her arm started to adhere. What must be done so smart was he Please take m to the lake said she If I should miss my lover swimming by A pumpkin you will be beneath the sky. After by him she had been dropped in To lake which was narrow and thin At first all over blood was shown Stopped bleeding and a red spot had grown. An altered and amazed man was he Worshipper and believer of the Deity Fasting every day of the week would he And him eating fish you will never see. Now he sings it is itty magory dee Also along with Riga Kilarney with dew And yes swimming still now is she Looking for loved one that to her is true. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
