[Mid] Another tribute to Jafar

Thanks unto Duke Sir Dag for his tribute to HRH Jafar. A gentle in our canton
wrote the following tribute for publication in our canton's and our barony's
newsletters. I thought you middlebridgers may want to see it too.

The great Jafar came riding in,
A stranger in our midst,
To answer the call for warriors,
To go on a perilous quest.
There wouldn't be a treasure trove,
No gold, or diamonds, or jewels,
Only the chance to bring honor
To the throne and the kingdom too.
His foes they faced two flaming swords,
And in their hearts they quailed,
For Jafar wove a net of metal.
Against them he prevailed.
He ruled with great yet humble strength,
A friend to one and all.
He led our warriors wisely
And safely kept our halls.
And when once again the call went out
For firm yet gentle hand,
He fought for the love of his Lady.
In peace they'd rule the land.
But as he looked down the way ahead--
A war he saw to come,
He began making plans for a victory,
He knew it could be won--
Then ill-timed came the one last foe.
The greatest of warriors in history
Had come to take him home.
Now off he goes for one last ride.
He'll answer the call no more.
And left in our hearts are memories
Of our friend, our Prince Jafar.

Lady Kassia Gildea
