Koska's Tale
The Lawman said thou must not kill
This gave the chieftain quite a thrill
for justice is his only name
and those who kill just for a game
are all worthy of comeuppance
The chieftain argued back and forth
that killing is required
And Lawman said thou must not kill
but he was getting tired
so he left the chieftain fuming
And late that night by candlelight
when everyone was sleeping
the chieftain went and drove with might
his knife into the lawman
and Lawman met his ending then
The morning after, no one knew
what horrid fate had fallen
but later then, a villager
found the poor dead Lawman
They made a hole and put him in
and blessed his grave with flowers
But later, sadly, he was swept
away from it by showers
The chieftain left a mighty stench
of murder all could feel
And the wounds he left on Koska
would never truly seal
A ranger came by late next night
to take his scent and track him
Departing in the early morn
with vigor and much vim
He tracked down Chieftain to a cave
and finally did kill him
The ranger went to Koska town
to tell them of the killing
But what he found was not a sound
but something far more chilling
Koska was abandoned then
an empty, broken husk
The town abandoned quickly as
a raider came at dusk
The ranger found the raider's home
And burned it down in ire
The culprit was asleep inside
And died in sleeping fire
The ranger left without a word
And ne'er returned again.
