The Trial

Hey Ho to the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall and wind may blow but there'll still be
Many miles to go
 
Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,
And the stream that falls from hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook,
Is a mug of beer inside this bumbling crook.
 
I’ve had the most peculiar morning… Now I’ve woken up in a court on the unfortunate end before. This morning was different however, as I was not the one on trial for my previous evenings mistrials. It was a young man by the name of Barak. The judge saw my quill and instruments and must have misjudged me for the court transcriber! My hangover was abominable. But that was just the beginning of my worries!
It turns out he was being represented by a very pretentious a mouse fellow. As for the defendant, he was a very senseless (possibly simple minded) who was an adventurer! His whole group were adventurers! How exciting it was to see a real hardened group of adventurers striking out on their own to discover glory and wealth!
Suddenly a ball of fire came crashing through a window and exploding, spreading around me. I courageously leapt into action and doused the fire with the last of my rations. As the smoke settled and the last cinder was extinguished the court resumed. I managed to find a note hastily scribbled on near the ashes of the fire. I showed it to the judge but the note had little effect on the judge’s decision.
 
I knew that now was the time to act, so I leapt up and told them of the evil hammer of Tiberius, and the effects it has on the user. The small tiny mouse man seemed to want this man, Barak, put behind bars (even though he was representing him in court!) and interrupted my story to call me false and fake! The fragile minds of some just can’t handle the bold actions and stories of others!
 
Oh well I found a more merrier bunch in this strange tavern run by a 13 year old girl. Now for a tale and a toast,
For the one’s we love most,
Raise your drinks up high,
Till they glisten in the sky,
Now pour it down, down, down,
And drink up the whole town!
