A few words of explanation are probably called for:
Verses 1 & 2: Hael Hens - The Wenchs' Guild
Verse 3: Renaissance Headbutters - A "guild" whose sole purpose was to harass the Hael Hens.
Verse 5: At a business meeting, our then chronicler asked people to look for cheap places to print the newsletter, because she was still looking for a good place to reproduce. ;-)
Verse 6: Lord Sym of Clan Fraiser lost his parrying dagger, leaped out of the list, grabbed a loaf of French bread off the side board table, leaped back into the list, and proceeded to win his bout.
Verse 7: At the time, we were between barons, with the election dragging on an awfully long time.
