Surely I won't complain ...This is exactly the long play that's been expected.
Don't play dumb - you've been warned enough times.

Ode to A Paladin
It isn't an easy one to own.
Sharp as glass, hard as bone.
It isn't glamorous, to be quite curt.
If you jumped head-first, you probably got hurt.
It is cold to the touch, bitter to the taste.
Slowly submerge, without the haste.
It is one to savour, one for the pocket.
Explosive for others, who put finger in socket.
If this where the tortoise and that were the hare ...
Then Meir with buck teeth and Johnny with care.
A story of patience, of wisdom and focus.
Didn't get your magic? No hocus-pocus?
Well don't you worry and don't you fret.
Wickedly wonderful, I'm willing to bet.
