In the Middle Ages

[redwitch]

In the Middle Ages
The world went dark
Everything together
just fell apart
King in his castle
the drawbridge up
you could pray in a cathedral
sleep in a hut
Live like a monk
die of the plague
If you need a vacation
go on a crusade

In the Middle Ages
Conditions were brutal
you could rail at society
but it was feudal
Health care was holistic
food was organic
a few little maggots didn't
cause a panic.
They would bleed you with leeches
for your fevered cough
they would cast out your demons
while your leg rotted off...
In the Middle Ages
The Earth was flat
That was no bull
the Pope saw to that
Beowulf was a literary hit
but no one could read
so it didn't sell much
To paint in perspective
in Florence or France
you would just have to wait
for the Renaissance.
In the Middle Ages
Yeah yeah yeah

3. It's a song actually

Michael Jerling wrote it and sings it very deadpan, it is hilarious. He also sings beautiful poignant music too, all his own. Just saw/heard him again last night. He is great.

You have always had one of my favorite DU names, BTW
