Choras:
I'm trying to find a word-o
that rythms with a crossbow!

verse 1:
the french invented it for hunting-o
and was used for war at the end of the eleventh century-o
but it was useless when wett-y-o
cuz it relaxed the bowstring-y-o

Choras:
I'm trying to find a word-o
that rythms with a crossbow!

verse 2:
it was 7 to 15 inches long-o
and used special arrows called bolts-o
plus it could shoot 120 yards at the maximo
which is more than I can say about that longbow!

choras:
I'm trying to find a word-o
that rythms with a crossbow!

that's about it...  there is a fourth verse, but its really long (it tells
every step to loading a medievil crossbow)!  Whatever....

KEEP PLAYING!  -Ted
