The One Named Roo
- Words of warning about ...
Roo is the compere, MC, and chief dispenser of verbal abuse down at the open mike nights at the Hobbit. He is always keen for people to have a drink in their hand. That's all you need to know really. For the rest, you need to be there!


I have from yonder forest come, in search of the one named Roo.
Careful not to cross his path, for there are stories here about.
If you see him or his monkey Spank, then here is what to do.
Make haste towards the nearest bar and buy a pint of stout.

There are scarcely few musicians that hear Roo and don't applaud.
For legend holds he has no equal for tuning a guitar.
And so it is with one exception: the Joni Mitchell chord.
If his skills leave you doubting, you need more drink from the bar.

Be not mistaken by his charming demeanour towards you.
Know that he is a martial arts master of the finest class.
He is not a fearful man, but watch out if he looks your way.
Then make very certain to keep some liquor in your glass.

But we are safe tonight, since he is accompanied by Eek.
Whenever you see the two together, you need have no fear.
So come now, whilst you are able, earthly pleasures you should seek.
Make your way to the nearest bar, and buy a pint of beer.
