Once Upon A Zuko Dreary
Once upon a steamship dreary
Zuko rampaged, thick and bleary
Over many a mystical volume of bending lore,
As he pouted, nearly snapping,
Suddenly there came a slapping
As of water gently lapping, lapping at his ship's strong floor.
"'t is some Avatar," he muttered, "bending at my ship galore.
Only this and nothing more."
Ah! Distinctly she remembers, it was in the sleek September
And each separate writhing ember flew at them, and up and o'er.
Eagerly he wished the morrow,
Mainly he had sought to borrow,
From young Aang surcease of sorrow,
Sorrow for his lost honor.
For the rare and valuable haven which Iroh had lost before,
Out of reach forevermore.
