DOGS OF WAR LOOSENED
A Fantasy Poetic Rendering For the Brave
DOGS OF WAR LOOSENED:
Our Dream Team didst today loose Dogs of War
Our mighty foe the Immortals now be truly sore
A joint assault with Renegades DT didst carry out
War cries and VICTORY calls we now jubilantly shout
Regent Bourbs didst lead from accustomed place
Far behind the lines where could monitor the race
Our War Jester Androlian led from the fore
Whilst keeping notes to report for the days of yore
Thousands of knights and troops marched unto the battle
Facing similar amounts of Immortals screaming for us to rattle
Bravely our cavalry thundered forth across the gory field
Knowing that the enemy must this day to yield
Swords were keen and sharp, gleaming in the sun
Our archers didst let fly flurries to join in the fun
Clear eyed, eagle sharp, they loosed their murderous barbs
Straight, and true their shafts flew many hundreds of yards
Immortals didst first try to meet us head to head
But soon their bravery was truly put to bed
As our Fiery Dragons didst drop bombs of dung
An Immortal stench caused enemy nostrils to be stung
Explosive decaying odors were cry of the day
As Kraken and dragons came from out sun’s rays
As enemy troops didst begin their stomachs to wretch
Our masked infantry their lives didst sally forth to fetch
By the hundreds corpses fell where soldiers had stood
It soon became obvious for us the day was good
Our War Chief didst indeed plan the lay out well
Mapping out our way to ring the victory bell
At end of day we lost hundreds of brave men
Yet Immortal death toll amounted to ours times ten
Soon this horrific war shall come to a timely end
Our triumphant troops then shall homeward wend
