On Klingon Lullabies

I mentioned Klingon fairy tales a few days ago. Today I receive an e-mail — Klingon lullabies. Courtesy of Chris Woodall and Top5, may I present a Klingon lullaby, the tale of the Three Blind Targs:

Three blind targs, three blind targs,
See how they run, see how they run.
They all ran after the warrior’s wife,
She cut off their heads with her father’s knife,
But the targs were blind, and not worthy opponents,
So the warrior slew his woman for bringing dishonor upon both houses.

Classic stuff! Probably kills the kids on Qo’noS. 😉
