Gyugyi all bent and twisted<\/p>\n
Shedding scales as she goes along<\/p>\n
An uglier form, you’ve never seen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In The caves above the hills<\/p>\n
She lived all lonely in the dark<\/p>\n
Picturesque if not a lonely spot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From that dark and lonely spot<\/p>\n
She watches the village down the hill<\/p>\n
As people play and laugh and sing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then one day came the marauding hordes<\/p>\n
With loot and plunder in their hearts<\/p>\n
Poor gyugyi saw them from afar<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All twisted and bent she knew she is<\/p>\n
A pretty sight she knew she’s not<\/p>\n
However be it as it may, she got to do what she got to do.<\/p>\n
So down to the little town she went<\/p>\n
As fast as her crooked legs can go<\/p>\n
First man she saw froze up in fright, the second fainted in a heap.<\/p>\n
Quite a ruckus gyugyi caused<\/p>\n
So much that knights were called at once<\/p>\n
Poor gyugyi tried to state the fact<\/p>\n
Too late an arrow pierced her heart.<\/p>\n
Just as that arrow did its job<\/p>\n
The real monsters did arrive<\/p>\n
Killed all their kids just like they feared<\/p>\n
And burnt their village to the ground.<\/p>\n
Those villagers never did find out<\/p>\n
That hidden in all that twists and scales<\/p>\n
Had beat\u00a0 a truly golden heart<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
