Re: March Moon of the Month: Lisimba

Gnomish Space Marines
(to the tune of Yellow Submarine)

In the sphere where I was born,
        Lived the oldest gnome I've seen,
And he told us of his life
        In the Gnomish Space Marines.
So we jammed up to the sun
        In our fine well-built machine,
And we joined the stately ranks
        Of the Gnomish Space Marines.

[chorus]
Wee all part of the Gnomish Space Marines,
The Gnomish Space Marines, the Gnomish Space Marines.
Yes, we're all part of the Gnomish Space Marines,
The Gnomish Space Marines, the Gnomish Space Marines.
Got our tinkers all aboard,
All the ones we could afford.
Our kazoo band likes to play. . .
[musical interlude]

We're all part of the Gnomish Space Marines,
The Gnomish Space Marines, the Gnomish Space Marines.
Yes, we're all part of the Gnomish Space Marines,
The Gnomish Space Marines, the Gnomish Space Marines.

Giant hamsters move the wheels,
        And they drive our great machine.
They give us spaham for all our meals,
        And bite us only when they're mean.

We're all part of the Gnomish Space Marines,
The Gnomish Space Marines, the Gnomish Space Marines.
Yes, we're all part of the Gnomish Space Marines,
The Gnomish Space Marines, the Gnomish Space Marines.

[repeat chorus; note that in actual practice, gnomes constantly
add new verses to this song, extending its length ad infinitum]
(From Dragon 192)

        Thank you, thank you.  I'm here all week, and enjoy the veal. :)
