Gehn the
D'ni dragon
(adapted from Puff the Magic Dragon
by Peter, Paul, & Mary)
Gehn the D'ni dragon, lived by
the sea
and frolicked in the acid
surf of the Age 233
1st verse
Drunk ole Cho and buddies,
loved that mix he puffed
and brought him frogs and
many logs and other fancy stuff!
2nd
Gehn wants to rule forever,
but not so say Moiety
portal things, wahrk gallow
rings
will end when they are free.
One bright day it happened,
Catherine came and then "a
friend"
and between 'em all & Atrus'
book
Ole Gehn soon met his end!

Achenar's
Aria
(Adapted from a Pirates of Penzance
song by Gilbert & Sullivan)
ACHENAR:
Oh, better far to live up high
Under the brave black flag I fly,
I'll be revered than play Sirrus's part
With my floating head and poison arts.
Away in Channelwood's dark & dim
I'll be a ruler away from him
I'll live off my altar's fruit & cod
and live and die a Pirate God!
For I am a Pirate God!
And I rule, I rule with an iron rod
To be a Pirate God!
For I am your Pirate God!
APES:
You are!
Three screams for our Pirate God!
ACHENAR:
And I rule, I rule with an iron rod
To be a Pirate God.
APES:
You do!
Three Screams for our Pirate God!
Three screams for our Pirate God!
ACHENAR:
When I link forth my foes to slay
I make their villages dearly pay
& I torture a few more apes, it's true,
Than a son of Atrus ought to do;
But even Gehn & Sirrus on their thrones,
Are cruel to keep their crowns their own,
They manage somehow to get through
More subjects & Ages than e'er I do,
For I am a Pirate God!
And I rule, I rule with an iron rod
To be a Pirate God!
For I am a Pirate God!
APES:
You are!
Three screams for the Pirate God!
ACHENAR:
And I rule, I rule with an iron rod
To be a Pirate God.
APES:
You do!
Three Screams for our Pirate God!
Three Screams for our Pirate God!

The Flowers
that bloom in the Glade
(adapted from a Mikado song
:Gilbert & Sullivan)
Rivenese Villagers:
The flowers that bloom in the
glade,
Tra la,
Breathe promise of favor divine.
As we merrily dance and we sing,
Tra la,
We welcome the hope that they bring,
Tra la,
Of a wedding and paradise fine,
Of a wedding and paradise fine.
And that's why today we you serenade
You're as pretty as flowers that bloom in the glade.
Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la,
The flowers that bloom in the glade.
Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la la!
Catherine:
The flowers that bloom in the
glade,
Tra la,
Have nothing to do with my fate.
I've got go under Gehn's wing,
Tra la,
A most unattractive old thing,
Tra la,
or run away from this place,
or run away from this place;
And that's what I mean when I thus upbraid,
"Oh, bother the flowers that bloom in the
glade."
Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la,
Bother the flowers of shade!
Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la la!

Most
of you are too young to have encountered Burma
shave signs along the road. Actually I am too,
though I recall encountering a few survivors.
1. Atrus of the Dni race
let his whiskers grow apace
He says it'd be easier to shave
If you'd just give him the page
Burma Shave
2. Achenar giggles from his book
happily he cannot look
at what condition his face is in
his prison age is razor thin
Burma Shave
3. Sirrus is a dapper guy
Even under prison sky
He never lets his stubble grow
How'd he do it?
we dont know.
with Burma Shave?
4. Gehn's face is sharply chiseled
so though all his ages fizzled
he can have pride in silky chin
Burma Shave smoothed his D'ni skin.
5. Woe is poor Cho
His hair wont grow
anywhere but his head
so he'll drink instead
the Burma Shave
6. Ti’anna worries.
Her husband she'd save
But she forgot to pack his
Burma Shave
How can he council with guildsmen grim
when he has whiskers all over him?Send him
Burma Shave!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Very P'ni
Do you find it f'ni
to think of D'ni m'ni?
or dr'mi days all s'ni
to share with your h'ni b'ni?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sirrusly
Folks!
I lon(g) to explore agehn
the myst-ic shorehs of Ages
What wahrk awaits our crew?
What challenges our sages?
We may achenize over puzzles
debates will then ensue!
We've miles to go and pages
before we've understood our clues
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You know
you've played too much Myst when...
1) You cover the static on your TV with red or
blue Reynolds color wrap. Cause it looks more
"natural" that way.
2) You keep leaving handwritten notes on random
shelves and out on the lawn in the strange belief
they will reach your loved ones... or a friendly
stranger.
3) You feel the need to freeze for a few seconds
whenever you see
butterflies or birds, sure that if you move at
all they will disappear...
(add Sunners and beetles if you are also
"living" in Riven :).
4) Everytime you click a link on your monitor you
expect to hear a certain sound.... (and are
really disappointed you are still in your chair).
5) You feel the need to write lists like this
one.....

Exile poem
inspired by the pre-release
hints George Chastain gave for Exile & Myst4
Water, water everywhere.....
but not a drop to drink
Instead we puzzlers take a look at CYAN's works
and think
That every single storyline has had water to the
brim
in streams, in lakes, and in its seas and so we
puzzling skim
o'er the possible uses of fluidic stuff
and we are puzzled dire
would raise or lowering it do the trick,
or shall we put out a fire?
Just what DOES George mean with his small hints?
he's got us going crazy!
Presto's Exile should make a mint
if our brains are not too lazy
