Page One:
Swords are good
Great Swords: Swords so great they need your left and right handPage Two:
Put your strength into it and you'll understand
With a firm grip you'll cut your foes in two
In no time at all they shall be run through
Long Swords: A blade for the ages you now wieldPage Three:
Its perfect partner is a nice solid shield
Let the blows hammer down, not a one will land
Many stances work, from the back to fore hand
Short Swords: Does size truly matter for the length of your steel?Page Four:
A pair of these blades has a certain appeal
When a long swords too long and a dagger too short
The short sword may just, be your forte
Scimitars: A wicked curved edge and a well balanced bladePage Five:
A perfect sort of weapon to lead a crusade
For some really heavy hits when the going is tough
A critical strike will shear right through the fluff
Rapiers: Perfectly balanced and very fine pointsPage Six:
Let your foe have it right in the armour joints
There isn't much heft but with the right thrust
Your enemies will be left deceased in the dust
]Bastard Swords: One hand isn't enough and two's too much
To wield this blade you need just the right touch
Is it sheathed on your hip or strapped to your back
They never know just what way you'll attack
