<p dir="auto">Sorry for choosing such an obscure song!</p>
<p dir="auto">[You're walking through Dunkley Wood, afraid of goblins, stormgeists and wolves, to say the least. Suddenly, you get pulled into a bush by a gang of men in camouflage.</p>
<p dir="auto">"Who are you?" you demand.</p>
<p dir="auto">"We're Pooka spotters," says a guy in an anorak, with a beard, thick glasses, a notepad and a thermos flask.</p>
<p dir="auto">"Pookas?" I don't like them!" you moan.</p>
<p dir="auto">All the spotters gasp. "Whyever not?" says The Bearded One.</p>
<p dir="auto">"Well, they're evil, aren't they? They scare the bejeezes out of most Dungeoneers... c'mon, they're in the service of Lord Fear!" you explain.</p>
<p dir="auto">"No, no, you're all wrong," says Beardy McBeard. "Pookas are playful, shape-shifting sprites. The aggressive plant-pookas you see around here have to act aggressive, because hunters have been killing them off!" A tear trickles down his face into his beard. "We're the Pooka Preservation Society, or PooPS for short."</p>
<p dir="auto">"But why...?" you begin to ask. You immediately wish you hadn't, because the spotters all immediately begin to sing.]</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we</p>
<p dir="auto">Me and him and them and me</p>
<p dir="auto">We'll show you what we all love</p>
<p dir="auto">Not a dog, or cat, or a mouse, or dove</p>
<p dir="auto">Pot on their heads, so we're keen</p>
<p dir="auto">For the green, green, green, green, green... and green</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy nuts are we</p>
<p dir="auto">We're all Pooka loopy</p>
<p dir="auto">Now ol' Gwendoline, she goes wanderin'</p>
<p dir="auto">Through Forests of Level One</p>
<p dir="auto">And when she's near, Dungeoneers keep clear</p>
<p dir="auto">And she wonders why she's shunned</p>
<p dir="auto">She thinks it's the Pookas, scarin' 'em away</p>
<p dir="auto">As a ranger they won't rate her</p>
<p dir="auto">But they don't keep clear of the Pookas, my dear:</p>
<p dir="auto">It's just because they hate her!</p>
<p dir="auto">Pookas in their den, hours they spend</p>
<p dir="auto">Look at the Pookas all</p>
<p dir="auto">It's a big green haze, one would be amazed</p>
<p dir="auto">At the sight of a Pooka ball</p>
<p dir="auto">'Cause they're kind folks, they only play jokes</p>
<p dir="auto">Like you have no idea</p>
<p dir="auto">They scare you away, but they only want to play</p>
<p dir="auto">(They're not servants of Fear!)</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we</p>
<p dir="auto">Me and him and them and me</p>
<p dir="auto">They're not crazy, they're not bad</p>
<p dir="auto">They're only playful, and a little mad</p>
<p dir="auto">If you think they're evil, you're mean</p>
<p dir="auto">For there's never any evil in the sprites of green</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we</p>
<p dir="auto">We're all Pooka loopy</p>
<p dir="auto">Now Merlin the mage has accumulated age</p>
<p dir="auto">From thousands of years ago</p>
<p dir="auto">He served King 'Arf since he was one and a half</p>
<p dir="auto">And is proud of his wisdom so!</p>
<p dir="auto">But he's confused, so he'll peruse</p>
<p dir="auto">His tome of Level 2's scene:</p>
<p dir="auto">Surely Pookas change their shape,</p>
<p dir="auto">And he wonders why they're all green!</p>
<p dir="auto">Now he prays and prays, takes a couple of days</p>
<p dir="auto">For an answer to arrive:</p>
<p dir="auto">Populations are thin, so they have to blend in</p>
<p dir="auto">It's in order to survive!</p>
<p dir="auto">Make no mistake, it's make or break</p>
<p dir="auto">For the Pookas in the dungeon -</p>
<p dir="auto">To blend in with the trees, they transform into leaves</p>
<p dir="auto">To keep their numbers from plungin'!</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we</p>
<p dir="auto">Me and him and them and me</p>
<p dir="auto">We'll tell you what they can do</p>
<p dir="auto">'Cause they've got so much more skill than you</p>
<p dir="auto">It's a wonder they keep clean,</p>
<p dir="auto">But there's never been a smudge on the skin of green!</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we</p>
<p dir="auto">We're all Pooka loopy</p>
<p dir="auto">In Knightmare's fourth year, we came very near</p>
<p dir="auto">To the Pooka-spotters' crown</p>
<p dir="auto">But we never got to put it on our trophy shelf</p>
<p dir="auto">Cos the hunters kept their numbers down:</p>
<p dir="auto">It all went full throttle, Puck got put in a bottle</p>
<p dir="auto">While the causeway's Falgo's flaunting</p>
<p dir="auto">And the old Dungeon Master's just as much of a bastard:</p>
<p dir="auto">He refers to them as 'hauntings'!</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we</p>
<p dir="auto">Me and him and them and me</p>
<p dir="auto">We'd show you what we can do</p>
<p dir="auto">But in recent days, there are Pookas few</p>
<p dir="auto">It's a shame they're rarely seen</p>
<p dir="auto">But if you're walking through the Dungeon, see a flash of green:</p>
<p dir="auto">It's a Pooka, you'll soon see</p>
<p dir="auto">Why we're Pooka loopy</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we</p>
<p dir="auto">Me and him and them and me</p>
<p dir="auto">We'll show you what we can do</p>
<p dir="auto">With a spotter's book, and a Pooka... cue!</p>
<p dir="auto">Look! There's one right over there!</p>
<p dir="auto">In the shape of a swallow, flying through the air!</p>
<p dir="auto">It's rare to see that, we're sure you agree.</p>
<p dir="auto">We're all Pooka loopy!</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we:</p>
<p dir="auto">We're all Pooka loopy!</p>
<p dir="auto">Pooka loopy, nuts are we...</p>
<p dir="auto">We're all Pooka loopy!</p>
