about

Another merry SCA tale from Estrella War. All the incidents are true, if a little exaggerated; the mud-hole was only ankle-deep. SCA "wars" are hard to describe to people who’ve never attended one.

lyrics

On my first day in camp, the Estrella War gave me: A mud-hole as deep as my knee.

On my second day in camp, the Estrella War gave me: Two thunderstorms,
And a mud-hole as deep as my knee.

On my third day in camp, the Estrella War gave me:
Three fire alarms.
Two thunderstorms,
And a mud-hole as deep as my knee.

On my fourth day in camp, the Estrella War gave me:
Four freezing nights,
Three fire alarms.
Two thunderstorms.
And a mud-hole as deep as my knee.

On my fifth day in camp, the Estrella War gave me:
Five drunken bards.
Four freezing nights.
Three fire alarms,
Two thunderstorms,
And a mud-hole as deep as my knee.

On my sixth day in camp, the Estrella War gave me:
Six dislocations,
Five drunken bards.
Four fizzing nights.
Three fire alarms.
Two thunderstorms,
And a mud-hole as deep as my knee.

On my seventh day in camp, the Estrella War gave me:
Seven tired chirurgeons,
Six dislocations.
Five drunken bards.
Four freezing nights,
Three fire alarms.
Two thunderstorms,
And a mud-hole as deep as my knee.

On my eighth day in camp, we all packed up and went home.
Thank God it’s only seven days long!
