A Tale of Eight Dwarves

				Drolgen and Mregen, Smulgar and Talger,
				Take the left flank with all their might.
				Ratchet and Gradgen, Kalmher and Omner
				Do their best to take the right.
				Smulgar and Talger slash them with swords.
				Ratchet and Gradgen beat them with sticks.
				Drolgen and Mregen don’t mince words.
				Kalmher and Omner get in their kicks,
				By axing those Orcs while their down.
				Smulgar three by the knee and one by the neck.
				Talger takes two Orcs but is downed by a Troll.
				Drolgen bites off more than he can chew, now he’s a wreck.
				And Mregen sends many a head to roll.
				Ratchet beats merrily those on his left and his right.
				Gradgen gets five and a dagger to the face.
				Kalmher falls first despite his great might.
				Omner makes proud his Dwarven race,
				By smashing that Troll on his crown.
