"Flandoria"

Author's Note:

First, you need to go to youtube and watch video ID [6A35rHifDG8] It's a song called "Sweet Violets."

No, seriously, watch that. And LISTEN. You have to hear the way the lyrics fit the music for it to make ANY sense!

This is a song that I learned from my mommy and daddy back when I was, like, eight. I know there are other versions of it that raunch things up a bit, but the one in the youtube vid is the one I'm most familiar with, and it's pretty tame. The version below is... less so... ;)

An EXTRA-special thanks to Sera for giving me the idea in the first place. She mentioned Corso and Viggota going out drinking and then staggering back to the ship singing naughty songs. But I was like, you know, Corso is SO white-bread! I just can't imagine him saying anything that was actually naughty. And then I remembered "Sweet Violets," and ... well, this happened!

Second Author's Note:

Flandoria are common wildflowers from the Flandor system. The blossoms of the flower were used to decorate the floats used in the Shaldania Parade on Coruscant. They were known for their fragrance. Special thanks to Sera for ALSO finding a flower type I could use!

Ready? Okay, here we go! Cue up the music and SING ALONG!

Lecture on guns, introductory class.

Input on how different pistols compare.
He kept peeking over at her under-
neath his clear visor, though spattered in muck.
And wondering how much she might like a

The maiden enjoyed it but just didn't get
Why rubbing against him had made her so
Prone to perspire - what could that be from?
She soon realized she was ready to
Kidnap the soldier and go for a walk.
She hoped he would offer to give her his

She wiggled against him, but he backed away.
She started to wonder if he might be
Worried she'd scream and he would face arrest.
So she took his hand and put it on her
Cheek so that he would know she didn't forbid
Attention - in fact, she just wanted a

But when she said "babies," he screamed really quick!
She worried that he had gone soft in his
head. His reaction made her feel so blue.
She tried to say that she just wanted a
chance to be with him, but he turned and ran.
She said, "Well that proves you just can't trust a
