Subject: A Bard's Lament on Crossing the Karana's
> "Loading, Please Wait...""Loading, Please Wait..."
>
> Sung to the tune of Turn the Page by the master Bard and Balladeer, Bob
> Seger
>
> On a high and twisty rampway, east of Qeynos Hills
> You can listen to the Griffawn screechin' out his killing song
> You can think about the Mucktails, or the gnoll you slew the night before
>
> But your feet will soon be wanderin' their way across the plain
> When you're playin' sixteen hours and you hardly seem to gain
> And you don't feel much like campin' but your eyes can't bear the strain
>
> Here I am, crossing the Karanas again
> There I am, the puppet of Fate
> Here I go, ambushed by bandits again
> There I go, Loading, Please Wait
>
> As you run into an Inn just lookin' to sell a bone
> You can feel her fists upon you afore you can change your tone
> and you hope she doesn't stun you, 'cause you really need to zone
>
> Most times you can't see 'em cast, other times you can
> But its still the same old result, be you a wood elf or a man
> 'Cause you always seem encumbered, armed with an empty hand
>
> Here I am, crossing the Karanas again
> There I am, the puppet of Fate
> Here I go, ambushed by bandits again
> There I go, Loading, Please Wait
>
> Way up there in Highhold Pass, you're half a dozen zones away
> And every plat you have, you offer desperately to pay
> To get someone to Rez your body, else that Selo's must you play
>
> Later in the evening, you still need to go to bed
> While /shouts from kOOl DeWdS, are spinnin' round in red
> You examine the trip's last forage, forgetting why you're dead
>
> Here I am, crossing the Karanas again
> There I am, the puppet of Fate
