This poem was written for Baroness Selena D’Ambra for her Order of the Troubador which was awarded in the East Kingdom on 10/2/04 at the Coronation of Thorvald Halvorsen and Svava Thorgeirsdottir.

The poem is in iambic pentameter (think "Sing a Song of Sixpence"). The last line doesn't quite scan, but I had to get the "required information" into the poem. Just say the letters AS instead of Anno Societatis – it helps with singing it all.

There is an Eastern filker

Who sings for the King

Making up her silly songs

She leaves us all laughing

No topic is sacred

From Selena D’Ambra

She’s even sings songs of

Royalty faux pas

Now Thorson will reward her

With Svava by his side

King and Queen of the East

With word-fame they abide

Today’s Their Coronation

They make her a Troubador

In the Barony of Carolingia
