Thread Name: Amazing Grace verse
Subject: RE: Amazing Grace verse
This may not be quite right for this thread, but fun nonetheless. This filk-up is a traditional Society for Creative Anachronism favorite:

A grazing mace, how swift the splat!
That slew a wretch like thee!
How round was the head that now is flat --
Done in by my mace and me.

A grazing mace, how sweet the sound
That slew a wretch like thee!
You're lying there upon the ground
You've left the field to me.

Doubtless there are dozens of local variations, as filks bring out the -- verse -- in people.
