“Many a SCAdian partnership is made of the noble and patient Introverted Spouse paired with a gregarious, social lunatic. At least that’s what my relationship is like, but this song to the quiet ones has brought many a grin of recognition around a campfire. Also, I AM really lucky to have exactly this Lord, as described below, to take care of me and let me play the game the way I enjoy without killing myself.”

Sing ho sing hey
it’s good to make your house
sing fa la lay
with an introverted spouse
my lord is somewhat bookish
which is quite plain to see
I run about with my head cut off
while he sips on his tea
but when I’m back at half-past-twelve
in the bitter cold of night
the bed is warm and so am I
for he makes all things right!
my lord reads at the table
so he’d seldom miss a meal
but I’ve forgotten dinner
till the telltale rumble feel
wearily I wander home
thinking of a crust of bread
but my love has saved a bounty meal
for me to have instead!
my lord craves not attention
though attention he deserves
when I’m causing a ruckus
he has no reserves
were I to list his merits
we would be here for a week
so I content myself to know
and to sing instead of speak…
