Garret Corn - Order of the Silver Tyger

Donovan Shinnock, King by right of sword

With Chattricam Meghanta, Queen fought for

The epitome of the Eastern court

Under oak leaves, this Hundred Minutes War

On Tyger thrones, resplendent they sit forth

Now to present, Their Majesties fine words:

We observe one: This fighter with valor

Who has found delight in battle glamor

Always intent, on improving his form

Applies care to kit, with skilled adornments

With delight, We have observed his hard work

Giving the Dream, his whole hearted support 

With aptitude and grace, We thus enforce 

Having the Silver Tyger to Adorn

Our newly ennobled Garret Corn 

With Arms to be worn: 

Quarterly sable and argent, a cross of chain gules

In the Shire of Rusted Woodlands port

AS LX, and ever more

For he is one that knows the Tyger’s Roar

Word count 134

which any fool can eat, 

but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption.
