Rim-walker, Foe-slayer, Guardian of the sword— Beast-breaker, War-bringer: BRANDON of the blade Who slew the dreaded dragon ‘ere the sun had reached the noon;
Bear-baiter, Snout-smasher, Keeper of the Axe— World-tamer, Science-truster BRANDON of the gaffe Who slurred the teleprompter’s truths until the mic was off;
Arms-seller, Drone-striker, Valiant war-pig Puppet— Tax-raiser, Gender-******, BRANDON of the press Who stumbled up the White House stairs, starting useless wars;
Let every mead-hall hail the clown And toast his name throughout the land. Raise high the horn in dread renown And bravely feast in BRANDON‘s name!
