Enthusiastic vigilante action on a street in pirateport follows the offer of a reward made by the party paladin


"Stop that man!"
Talanthus roared,
"An' if you do there's a big reward!"
So Henry grabbed some passing Jack,
Who grabbed Old Bob - who grabbed him back,
And Mikey took ahold of Larry,
And Bernie rugby-tackled Harry,
Mary grabbed a bloke called Wally,
And he put both his hands on Molly.
Tom got gripped by a wiry elf,
Eric took hold of himself!
So in a very brief short while,
The whole damn street is one big pile
Of heaving bodies, one big scrum -
All pulling hair and biting bum.
Wrestle, grapple, cling and clutch
Punch in face and kick in crutch,
And all the while OUR fleeing scunner
Carries on with rapid runner.
