Here is something I wrote for another Redwall RPG, by a mole dibbun, a song he did for dinner:
Oi's a gurt big bumblybee A buzzin' in um sikkymore tree, Don't ee wish ee was 'arpy 'n' free Loik um gurt big bumblybee?
Um day um vurmint 'appen to be A climbin' up the sikkymore tree An' whut did ee vurmint 'appen to see? Ee saw um gurt big bumblybee!
Ee vurmint say “Git away from mee, This 'eres me ouwn gurt sikkymore tree,” Ee fussed an' swatted, o mean ee bee, At um gurt big bumblybee!
Ee bee gotten madden, ee see, An' buzz, buzz, buzz aroun' ee tree; An' stung ee vurmint on ee footpaw, oo see, Ee gurt big bumblybee!
Ow! said ee vurmint, um rat from ee sea, An' hop, hop, hopped aroun' in ee tree; Ee fell wit' a crash an' bunged up 'is knee In ee soight of ee gurt big bumbly bee!
An' from 'at day, ee bumblybee Es' lef' alone in 'is sikkymore tree, 'Kin ee know 'un as 'arpy an' free As um gurt big bumblybee!

Heehee, nice! I love it! Writing little songs and things is so much fun (I don't know how much you've read around old threads and things, but my character Merryfeather has sung a couple), and you even did the extra challenge of including a dialect--molespeech, no less! Was it hard to get it to scan right, with that?

It was, Beekeeper! Molespeech is a challenge for me in normal time, I don't know if I could handle a mole character all the time. And poetry for a mole is fun, but takes a lot of thought to scan. I also composed a riddle on that other board if any would like to see it. I would say beforehand that it has nothing to do with this one and won't be used here, it's just for display on this arts thread.
