"Tales of travellers from near and far soldiers and airmen, the occasional tar.

Of families near and brethren dear sacrifice, loss and living in fear.

Scholars and artists they come to his call Unwary, unknowing, to sleep do they fall.

To lands far or near, in times new or old The scene is set for the tale to unfold.

So come join the throng, come hear my tale of heroes and romance, men hearty and hale.

Of cheating the rules laid down from times old the story that God forbade to be told." The Tinkerman
