Dunwin

Oh hello, nice to meet you.

Dunwin is my name, and who are you?

Long have I travelled, this way and that.

Here and there, everywhere.

Seeking a new abode, that is my goal.

Hoy Hullo, long have I searched.

In the far north is my home.

Where live on many of my folk.

Where the grasses are few and the ground patchy.

Where the horses roam wild and free.

Water is scant, food is bare.

But ever we prevail, march and dare.

Now you seem fine and hale, good sir.

Pray tell, what need have you?

Dunwin am I.

I can cook, I can sweep, I can clean.

I can read and write better than any scribe.

No stump can yet withstand my stroke.

I can sow and harvest and feed and fish.

Many are the lands I have seen.

And many souls have I met on the long road.

I have seen the good times, I have seen the bad.

I can weave, I can knit.

I can swing, I can shoot, I can wield lance.

I have shepherded, I have bartered, I have hunted.

I have kept house, I have tended farmstead.

What need you and your fine family?

I can teach, I can train, I can guard.

And always am I learning.

The ways of all people, between North and South.

East and West.

Hoy Hullo, how the time flies, no?

I have spoken much, now you tell me.

Dunwin am I, and I am willing.
