The CommonWealth Feast Song

On a lighter note, this one was one of my favorites to write and compose. This song is bizarre and wild, amusing and slightly more than disgusting. In jarring lute, a peasant from a small dell in the CommWealth green, is luckily invited to a noble feast by one of the countries Earls. Typically and naturally, a poor pauper barely would get fancy fine foods such as sweet stews and pies, mostly only able to afford pieces of bread and vegetables. You can imagine his excitement at this, the table decked with steaming, wafting fare from roasted boar, cheese, wine, and honey bread, that he’ll probably never get a chance to taste again. But soon his excitement turns into plain abhorrent disgust, as he realizes that the nobility consume rather strange slices of food, cooked in odd ways and overly seasoned. Soon, the peasant hurriedly tries to not try a cherry pie stuffed with nasty beet, or a horses leg that was rightly removed from the Prince’s stables. Sticking to the only normal thing at the feast, which is the honey bread, he quickly notices that nobles eat terrible things, and preferring his bread, vows to never return to the CommonWealth.
