Going Back To Ortha

 

BACK TO ORTHA [A la Paul Simon]

 

I’m going down to Ortha

Gonna hang with Roth and Korm

Gonna drink me some Loraleid

And be chillin’ with my Morgs

Gonna walk through Morg City

Take in a tavern or two

See the Library at Tronduhan

As we’re walkin’ through the school.

Yeah, I’m going back to Ortha.

Back to Ortha.

 

Dunwolf will do his magic

Or Koppa if he’s not there

We’ll check out the Domain of Doors

and maybe Drang’s old lair

There in Ortha.

There in Ortha.

Might visit Master Belmok

Or King Thron in his prime

Maybe old Mog himself

Depending on the time

When I go to Ortha.

Go to Ortha.

 

[Chorus] I’m going down to Ortha

To hang with Roth and Korm

Gonna drink some Loraleid

And be chillin’ with my Morgs

Back in Ortha.

Back in Ortha.

 

The Wolf-shades and the Ogres,

The Woses and the rest,

The Ghamen and the Ivra,

I’ll give ‘em all my best

When I visit Ortha.

I visit Ortha.

If there’s a way, I’m on my way

I shall not hesitate

To take the paths past sun and moon

To that land that we create

That we call Ortha

We call Ortha

 

[Chorus] I’m going down to Ortha

Gonna hang with Roth and Korm

Gonna drink me some Loraleid

And be chillin’ with my Morgs

There in Ortha.

Yeah, going back to Ortha.

Have a time in Ortha.

Meet you there in Ortha.

See you back in Ortha …

Since I mentioned it in my 2020 diary, I thought I'd go ahead and post it. It's just a jeu d'esprit, of course, a bit of fun, and could use a little work. More of a song than a poem, of course, lacking connective tissue, probably more comprehensible if sung to music.
