minstrel: It's not a hoax, it's a song

[Claudia Chaves]

Peace be with you, m'lord Edwin, and with all Minstrels' List members!

>From distant Terra Brasilis (soon to be properly named, I hope), I publicly
blow you a kiss, my champion, who fought for me with the only thing mightier
than any sword.  Courtesy is an attitude: be it in jest or in earnest,
you're either courteous or you're not.  And you were most courteous, m'lord.
Now, musicians, a tune for the lyrics below!  Let it be sung all over the
Knowne World: Glaura's Naïveté Song!  In friendship,

Glaura Branca Pereyra de Santa Maria

The honor is to serve.
