The stench wafted high to the heavens.

So the ogre wrinkled up his pug nose,

and pulled forth from his pocket a cloth

that smelled ever so strongly of rose.

Then the faeries and ogres did plan

to rid the fair isle of the stink.

‘'Send Ralf off to war with no armor,

For he is a no good rat fink!''

There was a sudden murmur of agreement after that last verse, and Alex had to turn away before he lost it. Someday he was going to have to sit down with Baldric and find out just what he'd learned from that traveling minstrel who'd taught him the new rhyme forms. The man had obviously taught him a few new words while he was at it.

He walked back out to the lists, Joel bouncing along at his heels like a happy puppy. Sending Ralf off to war wasn't such a bad idea. It would certainly solve a few of his own problems.

He nodded to himself. It was a good solution and he'd have to thank Baldric for the idea. Richard could certainly use a few new men for his French campaign, couldn't he? Ralf was a perfect choice.

Alex just hoped he could avoid being another good choice. He wouldn't have considered dodging the draft in 1998, but "army enlistment" took on a whole new meaning in 1194.

He looked at his squire standing a few paces away, poised and ready to serve. "Find me a partner, would you, Joel? I've got work to do."

Three weeks was not a very long time. He sincerely hoped he'd manage it.

He didn't want to think about what might happen if he couldn't.
