Now I thought that I would tell you
About a House that's in Cyrene
Which though it's small and cosy
Has members bright and keen.

It doesn't promote you for fighting
And how well you can kill.
It's main aim is to help you to
A love of Art instil.

It takes in writers and poets
Musicians, actors, dancers
Artists and philosophers
Historians and romancers.

It teaches you the basics
Of creativity and the stage
Or how to improve your talent
On canvas or on page.

Its name may seem quite odd,
With vowels far too few,
But we'll teach you how to say it.
It isn't hard to do.

And while we try to be modest,
We have to say, with grins,
That we seem to have a healthy share
Of Artisanal and Bardic wins.

If you're prepared to work
And develop your love of Art
I've given you some clues
About the place to start.

Or on Sarapin's first day
Come to Cyrene's Dancing Boar
Watch the annual concert, and
We'll be pleased to show you more.

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Scarlatan, in the year 412 AF.
