Q is for Quartz

Will nothing content this grumpy dwarf? Certainly not taking over blogs monthly He won’t take death in Fairest lying down Even if he gets backlash from a sleeping curse Whammied out of the best intentions This is what you get for listening to kobolds Taking in surrogate human daughters You’ve had just about enough Of Cuckoo Clocks and Crystal Coffins Even if it’s a story of your own You lead your brothers away from your kind’s greed Fool dwarves, fool goblins, fighting over gold They underestimate the beauty and value of a quartz crystal Human mages are not so so short-sighted. You find a mountain with plenty of your namestone You didn’t realize it was occupied by a dragon You and your brothers head to the dubious safety Of a cottage in a Forest of Tears Trying endure garden gnomes as neighbors Wondering how long Garnet can take the stress Curses and trouble have a way of finding your door You recognize some of your own confusion You desire to do something, to keep moving In the weary beauty of her face No, you should have taken in that human princess She’ll break your heart the way humans always do You shouldn’t have listened to kobolds either Too bad you’re too stubborn to listen to yourself.
