Deadra Colin Madoc

gyrth
Short Description: 

Deadra was princess of Atlantia from 03/24/1979-09/15/1979.

Poem (Canso): 

Her laugh and smile I will remember most
For joy's supreme with her. She's like no other.
And is still too she says. That she's my kin. And I must boast
She is my own true brother.

Now you may ask how could a lady fair
My brother be. We are a sibling pair
And I will pull your teeth and she your hair
If any dares deny the bond we share.

For we are giggle brothers! Socks upturned!
An ancient noble clan of silly men --
And women too -- who frowns and groans have spurned
To spread as best we can some merriment.

Blithe Princess Deadra's gift was oh so rare
When she gave us delicious joy to share.

Documentation / Explanation (Razo): 

Perhaps a note is required here. There is an ancient (in business since AS XI) band known as the Dearthracha di Trithi (Brothers of the Fits of Laughter, or "giggle brothers" in the vernacular) to which both Viscountess Deadra and I belong. Alas, its banner (Argent, a pair of hose addorsed and reversed vert, or a pair of blown socks) is little seen in these days.
