Tie it to a grapplin' hook,
Throw it 'cross the moat.
Ascend the wall that blocks your path,
Power is a rope.

Bind all those of kith and kin,
Encircle them with hope.
Keep your charges dear all near,
Power is a rope.

Wind through tackle and block device,
To lift o'er any slope.
Simple machine augments your might,
Power is a rope.

Every inch of slack you've pulled,
Feel it tighten round your thoat.
How far's the drop when the floor gives out?
Power is a rope.

Penned by my hand on the 7th of Ero, in the year 975 AF.
