The Fire Place

The story has been told, bout
a brave knight bold
whose mission it's known, is fighting the enemy.

One night on a scavenger hunt in the land,
some bricks were found in the sand.
More digging revealed more brick in the field,
a fired brick for sure used by many before.

So.. some digging took place, an idea hatched,
in the old man's head, natch!
To build a fire place grand around the camp.

Bits were gathered from here and there
and like the Land of Stars - everyone wanted one.
They wondered and pondered how it could be -


In silence they dug,
then tossed on the truck
under midnight skies--an idea.

The Old Sarge was grinning, he knew he was winning
a fire place grand without lifting a hand.
The Old Sarge did grunt, and mentioned some pain in his rump.

So many of us waited near to hear a tale
from the Eastern Oracle
what had transpired over many a night.
A receptacle for holding fire.

Now today from the land far away a rumor is heard
they have been roasting marshmallows on a saber!
Upon my word, I never have heard a story as strange as this!
