Myth Drannors waves were on the EBB
The setting sun lit sky so LO
Soaring gulls began to CROW
As shadows legthened from MINI

A fleet of honour, a force of SAILS
From insane cliffs came Archer's WRIT
To lay their claim for city MYTH
To fight, to die - their end to BE

Wizards raised their fists to STARS
Racing for Myth Drannors DOCKE
The isle ahead, the clock TIC-TOC
Archer's fleet the Wizards FEAR

From heavans high came devilish FLAME
Bone-searing light, froth churned to MAT
Rhymes seeking arrows SNAP
Bows broke neath fiery MYRH

Yet bravely Archers turned to REAR
Scorched and torn, sails still bearing 'A'
The fight to settle in future DAYS
Battle lost, but war far from DONE

--------------------------------------------

I know, I know... Don't quit your day-job Trout. Dr. Seuss I am not... =P

Asides from my oh-so-horrible attempt at poetry, we do have some more grey press:

------------------------------
Spring 02 Grey Press:
The master wizard today denied rumours of prejudice against little people after his fleets refused to take dwarven legions onboard . Quote ' it was a misunderstanding, and we can hardly have issue with the vertically challenged when our mercenary troops are engaged in joint maneuvers with the hobbit half regiments, I mean battallions....'
------------------------------

Lots of action in the Spring turn, but I'll leave it to you to sort it all out. Frankly, my heads starting to spin a little at this point. One retreat is needed from our friendly Magicians... Deadline for Rob to get me his Summer 02 retreat will be set for Friday, January 9th (11:59 PM GMT).

Please give me a bellow if you spot any errors. As always, keep your eye out for the secret message. Lets see if someone can wrest the no-prize away from Michael this round. =P

Cheers!
