Her thoughts adrift to regions where the faint-of-heart need say a prayer.
“The Skizzle blossoms, bathed in dusk,
Released their fragrance to the dark
As through the murk rode Shatavay
Upon the gallant Wallanark.
Two notches—fresh, adorned his glowl—
A yammox tale of victory.
He’d freed the Princess Penadrill
From Chevesic and Chershowee.
Three cheers arose from kingdom Yoffs—
‘Thoxim! Thoxim! Thoxory!’
As Shatavay retold the tale
Of Penadrill’s captivity—
‘I downed the glothsome Chevesic
And snatched the princess from its jaw.
I bound its wing with naperone.
My thigh was lanced by creature’s claw.’
‘Then Princess Penadrill waxed still,
A shriek bemiddled from her throat
As from the woods came Chershowee,
Its fang launched for my jath-skin coat.—’
‘It spied the morg-tied Chevesic.
Its gorb took on a ghastly pale.
While blood truzzed from my wounded thigh,
I mofoblitzed its wartel tail’.”
At end of day, her quill aside, the ink on parchment—almost dried,
When head and pillow did collide, her hero dreams, no more denied—
—The Skizzle blossoms, bathed in dusk
Released their fragrance to the dark
As through the murk rode Shatavay
Upon the gallant Wallanark.

Just the kind of words I love to read aloud over and over. My, my, but I love this:)
Masterful and blessings, Graham.
