A Quest for the Ribbon (x-post)

[Diglach Mac Cein]

Make way! Dilan Battle-Bull
Full of zeal for Midrealm’s Queen,
Keen to serve her chosen will
Makes this challenge heard and seen.

Keen-edged sword and iron spear
Here he offers Midrealms’ lords;
Hordes of you he dares to greet,
Meeting as the time affords.

Lords, next Ceilidh of St. Joan,
Lone upon the hero’s field,
Yielding not to pain nor woe
Dilan stands with sword and shield.

Twice one hundred bouts that day
May you be sure he shall complete;
Meet him there, armed as you may,
Paying pledges, as is meet.

Seek to aid this royal quest,
Best of fighters, Midrealm’s light!
Fight the cancers of the breast!
Silver bring to Dilan’s fight!

Ten or twenty-five gold coyne
Foined with female heroes’ face,
Grace the bout that you would join,-
Aid the Queen , disease erase!

This is Dilan’s hope and quest:
Lest this project go awry,
Hie ye all to Ceilidh next,
March the Fifth is drawing nigh!

Should there any be so base
Facing Dilan to forstall,
All the bards ought on such place
Satirizing rhymes withal.

I warn you to take good leave of your wife and mistress that day, for this man will make you remember him.

I'm bumping this again, with a couple of clarifications -

What I'm doing is a Fight-a-thon, raising money for The Susan B Koman Foundation, which goes to breast cancer research. I'll be fighting as many bouts as I can in 4 hours, with a target of 200.

I am taking pledges for each bout I fight. You don't need to fight me, or attend the event to make a pledge. I am hoping for pledges from .10 to .25 per bout, but I will happily accept any amount. You can put a cap on the total pledge if you wish, or even make it a flat donation.

After the event, I will email everyone who made a pledge with the results.

ALL proceedes go to the charity.

Please feel free to pass my post to ANY mailing list you feel is appropriate. With the tourney being on March 5, I don't have a lot of time to raise pledges, so I'm trying to get the word out as much as possible.

Thank you all!

Dilan
