The Dwarfs Who Came To Tea

The dwarfs who came to tea

One otherwise quiet night

Sat down to a plentiful feast

That bakers dozen a most unruly sight!

The dwarfs who came to tea

Had both wizard and king in tow

They told tales of home loved and lost

And the fury of dragon fire aglow.

The dwarfs who came to tea

Had an end in mind

The employment they offered so overwhelmed,

I quite readily declined!

Morning came and with it entirely new feelings,

Impulse, curiosity, dread of lost opportunity.

So up I sprang and took off with well provisoned pack

To follow the call of destiny

And the dwarfs who came to tea.
