Hi, there was a poem of a Guardsmen posted in the IG forum and someone asked for a ballad of Carnifex Bill. Well, i thought I'd post it here too, so here it goes:

'The ballad of Carnifex Bill'

Once upon a time,
somewhere deep in space,
drifted a loathsome hiveship,
surrounded with poisoned haze.

The old lady of the hiveship,
her name was Mother Mind,
was trusted by her children,
for being always kind.

Then the day came,
when she would breed,
three monstrous brothers,
who were unequal indeed.

The oldest one,
his name was Jack,
was feared by his brothers,
and leader of the pack.

The second brother,
though not as strong,
he was called Butch,
and was wily all along.

The youngest of the three,
who was named Bill,
was always looked upon,
and cuddled against his will.

His brothers became jealous,
for Bill was the sweatheart,
it did not take much time,
and the family fell apart.

Bill's brothers Jack and Butch,
who both tried to rule the Hive,
where outcasted by the Mother,
and eaten up alive.

But Bill who feared the Mother,
for her ever tender care,
fled on a nearby planet,
being pampered was too much to bear.

Though not as beefy and wily,
as his brothers once had been,
for the humans on the planet,
he was the strongest they had seen.

Bill ate his way through the cities,
through every farm and town,
none was able to stop him,
they had quite much to moan.

Then after a year had passed,
the plantet was a lifeless ground,
the hiveship emerged from the skies,
and Mom was happy that Bill was found.

Bill returned to his Mother,
and they started a big feast,
then Bill was reabsorbed,
to breed another beast.
