BALLAD OF JESS AND RORY

Sit yourself back while I spin you a story
'Bout a ruffian named Jess and a goody called Rory.
Listen real close as I tell the affair,
Between these two lovers, this remarkable pair.

You might ask yourself what right have I got
To speak of this tale when close I am not?
But sure as I pluck my own guitar strings,
As Town Troubadour, I've witnessed some things.

Plus measures I'll take to knowledge exalt,
As any poet would in worth of his salt.
Therefore do I tune to most APBs
From Hartford, to New York and Los Angeles.

Likewise I'll study all periodicals
Published by prophets and clever young Oracles,
And several newsletters on sorcery.
I also subscribe to Olympus Quarterly.

But more do I do to stay in the loop
Other good research does give me the scoop.
To keep me abreast of all of their antics
Sometimes I'll read the best of the fan fics.

All this I do, to help with my chronicle.
How else do you think my songs stay so topical?
But you've not come here to hear about me
So let's turn you now towards our story.
