A song: Composed by Keller, for old Jaddiepoos. I liked it so much i just had to share it! Those of you who know him, will get a chuckle from this.


-> Keller clears his throat
Keller strums on his mandolin and sings in Westron: 
          
          Gather round lassies and lads, and here this tale
          Grab your wine, your beer and your ale
          Raise your drink, to a companion we had,
          The guildmaster of guildmasters, our old chief Jad.
          

Keller plays an interlude on his mandolin and sings in Westron: 
          
          Older than dirt, and ten times as dirty
          Although you could've fooled me, he sure was purty
          Cranky and stanky, quicktempered and mean
          And still I confess, the best I've ever seen

Keller plays an interlude on his mandolin and sings in Westron: 
          
          One drink for a ranger, who's cured the unclean
          One drink for a lover (ladies, you know what I mean)
          One drink for the temper, the RAGE I have seen
          Three drinks for Jad, a guildmaster most keen!
          

Keller plays an interlude on his mandolin and sings in Westron: 
          
          Late into the night, from his personal room
          He'd send out the words, over Arda they'd zoom
          Ladies and  lassies would hearken his voice
          And with all that charm, did they have a choice?
          

Keller plays an interlude on his mandolin and sings in Westron: 
          
          To our village entrance, his harem would flock
          But that old bastard Hermai, was always a block
          So Jad would give up, his station at idle
          Steal through the entrance, into the night he would sidle
          

Keller plays an interlude on his mandolin and sings in Westron: 
          
          Into strange Inns, in the wee hours of night
          Would Jad the Old, sneak with delight
          Wandering gossipers spoke of his skill
          But being so old, I wonder still..

Keller plays an interlude on his mandolin and sings in Westron: 
          
          Now all jokes aside, cover your sweet ears ladies
          I have a sneaking suspicion that the stories are shady
          Although I knew him, for only a short while,
          I barely noticed the skill and the guile.
          

Keller plays an interlude on his mandolin and sings in Westron: 
          
          Ask of some older soul, to tell you of him
          And perhaps you'll get a sly wink and a grin
          A fiercer friend, not much taken to brood.
          If you really want to know him, try "help lewd"

          And we all miss you, Jaddy.. come back soon.
          

Keller finishes his song with a flourish.
Keller bows solemnly and his cloak drags the ground.
