Our Version of Bisclavret
By Dawn and Mayumi
Deep in the night
With the moon shining so bright
A werewolf creeps
A woman weeps
The werewolf, Bisclavret
His wife’s love he cannot get
For he keeps disappearing
Without his wife hearing
She became suspicious
But the truth seemed fictitious
Her one and only love
Was not to be spoken of
He was part beast
For three days a piece
For with no clothes
His werewolf life grows
Because of this fright
His wife married a knight
And Bisclavret was on his track
With no clothes to change him back
One day a hunting king came
With the moon shining so bright
A werewolf creeps
A woman weeps
The werewolf, Bisclavret
His wife’s love he cannot get
For he keeps disappearing
Without his wife hearing
She became suspicious
But the truth seemed fictitious
Her one and only love
Was not to be spoken of
He was part beast
For three days a piece
For with no clothes
His werewolf life grows
Because of this fright
His wife married a knight
And Bisclavret was on his track
With no clothes to change him back
One day a hunting king came
Looking for some delicious game
Bisclavret, the werewolf he saw
All the kings people stared in awe
They drew their swords ready to kill
But Bisclavret begged the king mercy on his last will
And he took Bisclavret under his wing
For a while he lived with the king
One day came the knight
Who arrived and made Bisclavret start a fight
He recognized he was the one
Who took his love and left him with none
Next came his ex wife
Creating tremendous strife
She brought him his clothes
But he ripped off her nose
The ex- wife and the knight were exiled
And thrown into someplace wild
Then the women gave birth
On this new piece of earth
To baby girls like their mother
With no noses, like no other
