With sincere apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan AND the impending "Pirates of the Carribean" story festival, the Mighty Taverna Arts Players present:

"The Writings of Pendance"

ALL:

Pour, O pour the story sherry;
Fill, O fill the story glass;

And, to make us more than merry
Let the story bumper pass.

Gary:

For today our story 'prentice
Rises from indentures freed;

Strong his pen, and keen his script is
He's a writer now indeed

ALL:

Here's good luck to Author's ventures!
Author's out of his indentures.

Gary:

Words a-plenty, now he's writing,
And alone he's fit to fly,

Which we're bent on signalizing
With unusual revelry.

ALL:

Here's good luck to Author's ventures!
Author's out of his indentures.

Pour, O pour the story sherry;
Fill, O fill the story glass;

And, to make us more than merry
Let the story bumper pass.

(Author rises and comes forward with story Muse, who enters)

Muse:

Wotinell d'you think you're doing
with this hopping back and for'd?

Knock off all this song and dance crap,
and present the damn award!

All:

Knock off all this song and dance crap,
and present the damn award!
