[I think this would be best as a fairly rare, if not unique, scroll or piece of paper - rather than a book. Stash it in the Bards College or something]

Well the clan of ol’ Shor were sat ‘round looking glum
For in there between them Aldu-ey did stir
But then clever Dibella took up her two drums
And broke into song as they gaped up at her

Dib’la-delly, Dib’la-day
A dragon can fuck just so much, so they say
If a death without mead is a price you won’t pay
Then a life lived forever’s just a good fuck away

Wise Mara was first, o, a goddess in heat
She needed no urging to get under the drake
And Kyn, feeling hungry, went straight for the meat
The Queens of the Sky, what a sound they did make

Dib’la-delly, Dib’la-day
A dragon can fuck just so much, so they say
If a death without mead is a price you won’t pay
Then a life lived forever’s just a good fuck away

Now Pa Shor and Tun were not too dead to rise
One small like a fox, one big as a bear
They took an end each and they met with their eyes
And roasted Aldu-ey like a campfire hare

Dib’la-delly, Dib’la-day
A dragon can fuck just so much, so they say
If a death without mead is a price you won’t pay
Then a life lived forever’s just a god-fuck away

When all’s said and done, the gods did their job
Poor old Aldu-ey was too tired to burn
So take out your sheath or take out your knob
If for a world left uneaten your clansmen do yearn

I really like this. Bards College is exactly the kind of insouciant place to find these words.

I think that the "F" word shouldn't go to the final product. It could put off a lot of people, who would prefer their game to stay clean.

That said, I respect your work and love all the rest of the books!

I can appreciate that point, but at the same time I would argue more egregious language has already been included ("King of Rape" is canon, for instance, and "fuck" already crops up in T_D texts).

As a more general point, this text has been included in Sky_iRe_MK32 as a semi-hidden easter egg. No need to replicate it as a general text.

Throwing fuck around does stick out as an edgy inclusion that runs against Bethesdas use of profanity and the other uses in TD do stick out like a sore thumb.

Cheap and lazy it be.
