One Lonely Musketeer

First read Jan Allisons, "One lonely musky tear" One Lonely Musketeer Tiss true I have me comrades Men at arms, one for all and all for one When it comes to love, seems I ride alone A big nose of whiskey, the ladies seem to run My sword may latch on to a knicker or two Those lassies sure do run fast, they do I serenade them with inebriated rhymes They laugh and say I am out of me mind I shall conquer armies on horse and sword The thorn of the rose, and scorn of me mistress Shall be my ultimate demise One lonely Musketeer

Full marks to me for guessing what this write was all about as soon as I saw the title! (though for a moment I also thought of Maurice!). Full marks to you as well, Arthur for bringing a smile to my face. // paul
