The Cumbiare
position sat waiting for the little cat
Up above him
flew a bat, the bat called out, no sign of that
What I need’s
the hag dear rat, come on now up off that mat
Tell her that
we need to chat and ask her bring her magic hat
The hag she
came a tiny frame, a dark grey mane, it was a shame
She was once
a stunning dame but she had played the loving game
Her claim to
fame was in her name but now she limped her left leg lame
She was the
only one to blame, a poison arrow she did aim
The story of
the hag is sad, her heart was broke then she turned bad
Of course her
story involves a lad, a lad warned off her by her dad
The one she fell
for was a cad, another lover he did add
His heart was
fickle, his love a fad, the pain of grief it turned her mad
When she
found out her nostrils flared, a poisoned arrow she prepared
She had
thought he really cared, the news it stunned, she simply stared
After all the
love they’d shared, her eyes welled up and then they glared
Her heart
turned cold, her rage it scared, she then took aim. Oh yes she dared
The arrow was
a special one, its power strong, a web she spun
To turn his
head from anyone, except her love he would now shun
The trouble
was there was no-one to help her as her spell begun
And when she finished and was done he wouldn’t
look for other fun
She shot it
out towards his heart, a poisoned chalice, a magic dart
Its path
mapped out upon a chart or so she though when she did start
It hit him
clear in his cold heart, it split in two and fell apart
And now she
didn’t feel as smart, they took his body in a cart
What do you
want of me she asked? He replied, Now not so fast
I think that
we can have a blast, the scope of this could be so vast
I have heard
of all your past, a cure to you I could unmask
But first I
ask, can you be arsed? To help me trick The First at last
A cure for me
you say you’ll bring if you’ll provide then I am in
How can I
help to get this thing to free my heart from its own sling?
Just simply help
me in this sting, the First must look at everything
And then the
cure to you I’ll bring and as before your heart will sing
