Limerick Boast

Unto the East Kingdom, let it be known

Violet Hughes did request accolades in limerick

What follows is therefore Not My Fault!

Traditionally boasts are done

By listing of achievements won

She got EK Rank

But to be Frank

She’d much rather be praised by Pun

Violet of Three Skulls House

Known to be quiet as a mouse

Into armor she climbed

Said, “Getting hit I don’t mind!”

She felt crushed but she’d never grouse

There the lady sat, preparing to knit

When asked to Herald, said I’ll try it!

She thus found her Voice

An Dubh made a good choice

And now kingdom folk listen so quiet

On lightly drawn lines like a staff

Violet went on to calligraph

She learned many hands

Letters from different lands

Then a few more as a laugh

Later she went on a rant

You may NOT have your charge be an ant!

Even meant as a joke

Herald’s College do not poke

Because heralds don’t pun, they cant

Violet Hughes, is this Tyger’s name 

Acts of service have gained her acclaim 

Cries from far and near

Bent the Royals’ ear

One more award is why we came

Arms and Crescent they did confer

With plenty accolades Silver

Service martial and art

Aspects of the East’s heart

Pelican is now placed upon her

BONUS ROUND! (Not read during court)

Gather ye round to hear the word

Violet Hughes of whom you’ve heard

We will hear words today

Of what Great Orders say

To the Pelicans flipping her the Bird

This was a truly collaborative work between Jenna Childersley for the boast for the Peerage for Lady Violet Hughes.
