Not been here for such a long time and great to see the thread is still going strong.
“Of Tidings, of Hair, Wig and Woe!”
The Wise Old Man, a gentleman
Looked out this fateful day
His Powdered Wig it seemed to him
Had simply flown away
He wondered where his wig had gone
Then heard his neighbour say
“Oh tidings of wig, hair and woe
Where did it go?
Off to the barbers I must go!”
The Wise Old Man, then saw a space
Where his Wig-Stand should lie
He wondered why it had gone
And how his wig could fly
He trudged to Lumbrige then by foot
And heard the barber say
“Oh tidings of hair loss, and why
Do I try?
I can’t help you, so then goodbye!”
The Wise Old Man, paused, scratched his head
His last hair then fell out
He went to visit Party Pete
Advice he could do without
He spoke to him above the din
“You silly layabout”
“A wig you need, for your head-
Preferably red,
Wear this and you’ll knock ‘em dead”
The Wise Old Man then wore his wig
With dignity and pride
Until he passed a smirking fox
Who quickly screamed then died
The Wise Old Man took off his wig
And then he did decide
“I shall try the Falador Barber Shop”
With a skip and a hop
“I don’t want my hair to look like a mop”
The Wise Old Man’s fashionable wig
Did look rather strange
Then a plump and portly goblin
Said within ear-range
“Why you look so *illy, please
Let me try to rearrange
This mess of wig, hair and Woe...
There you go!
That looks much better, you know!”
The moral of the story
In Runescape at this time
Be careful not to drink too much
Strong Zamorkian Wine
So we now search for wig and stand
So soon it shall be time
For Tidings of Wig, Hair and Woe
Now you all know
A wig is for life, not just for show!
A dreadful ditty from me as ever
Love the poems on this thread and reading them back now

Hehe, just noticed your response to mine a few posts above, Cyun.
A light-hearted ditty, Amoraten; not dreadful at all, I like it.
The wordplay is very clever, Amascut. Nice to see you venture into these parts.
Cyun, I wonder as to why you dub the towers as "Ivory"? Is there some religious meaning to the phrase?
