Come gather 'round and I'll tell you a tale
A tale of a night very much like the one tonight
Do you have to sing the story?
Yes!
The rain pelted cruelly, the wind tore my hood
As I ran through the wood to my homestead
How many verses is this?
12
When I saw in a clearing, a figure was stood
Beckoning as if I were awaited
(When did..., we live in Brooklyn, never mind, I'll come back later)
I'll skip to verse 11
Now you know, said the wizard
What price you must pay to gain the reward you seek
I feel like you skipped a lot
You'll get it through context
You must trade me a treasure
That's of commensurate or greater value
Than the suggested price of this mystical, ancient antique
So I granted the wizard a book forged in chrome
Though it pained me to part, and regret filled my mind
With a flourish he vanished along with my tome
Leaving naught but this hurdy behind
Leaving naught but this gurdy behind
