<i>Welcome to the Mad God's Masque and Bellicose Ball. I am Hlireni Indavel. I am an incredibly famous witch because of our dance in Ald Daedroth with those of gold-hats, hee hee... Here I am honored to bring you the mad poems of our Lord, the Mad God Sheogorath. The Imperial librarians are nice enough to let me give an introductory speech for the works of our Lord. It is strange enough that our Lord is also known outside of Nirn as Ted Peterson or Tedders. He is widely known as one of the conspirators of the trouble in Iliac Bay. Well, that is far from us here in Ald Daedroth. I don't know much about this trouble, but I heard it was messy, hee hee... Ah anyway, enjoy the poems and the gibberish words here, hee hee...</i>

Drow, drow, drow your canoe<br>
The stream provides flotation<br>
Hysterically, hysterically, hysterically, hysterically<br>
Existence is hallucination

'''2nd of Sun's Dawn'''

Aye, I can often be beckoned<br>
Popping from my golden sphere,<br>
During Sun's Dawn, day the second,<br>
My favorite day of all the year<br>
As time on Nirn is chiefly reckoned.<br>
Still, my daily schedule is always clear.

'''Sheogorath: A Case Study'''

I agree<br>
To think to study me<br>
Is the mark of a mind delirious<br>
Beyond the pale<br>
And quite doomed to fail<br>
Ye who tries to take me serious<br>
In your world,<br>
Sick minds have unfurled<br>
Psychiatrist’s careers do embark<br>
But in the real<br>
Empire of Tamriel<br>
Madness grows strong in the dark.

'''Queen Alessia'''

Alessia, O Alessiiiiaaaa<br>
O Slave Queen in the White Gold Spire<br>
My question will beeee aaaa<br>
Quick one as on your throne you expire.<br>
Was it, o, diarrheeeeaaaa<br>
You birthed instead of the First Empire?<br>
Alessia, O Alessiiiiiaaaaa?<br>
O Slave Queen in the White Gold Spire?

'''Would You Mate?'''

The darkling and the dabbling duck<br>
In salacious mind he’s stuck<br>
On the mortal questions<br>
Of hot coital sessions<br>
Wondering whether spirits ... mate ...

'''Tit for Tat with Hermaeus Mora'''

''This poem was posted by Hermaeus Mora:''

Sheogorath's a merry drink<br>
Both matured and refined<br>
A colour rich and deep as ink<br>
And flavour that blows your mind.

''Sheogorath's response:''

And Hermaeus Mora is a filthy stew<br>
Rotten glyphs and moldering scrolls<br>
Burbling layers of green, red, and blue,<br>
One cup is enough to fill two bowls
----
'''Ode to Azura'''

Oh, Azura, Azura, the dust and the dawn,<br>
My guts fill with worms, my body their pawn,<br>
Oh, death cometh to stop my immortal dance,<br>
Alas, alackaday, and, aye, what an annoyance<br>
But weep for me not, we soon will laugh and laugh hearty<br>
Don’t dawdle, in the stone wood to the Ear-Clipper’s party
----
'''Sanguine's Realm'''

Mind aflame, loin afire, illicit pleasure to seek<br>
From under the bed, Lord Sanguine doth peek<br>
To inspire perversions in the wild and meek<br>
Tales of taboos of which virgins blush to speak<br>
The wild rose blooms, perfumes in the burbling creek<br>
The petals, the stem, and the thorns’ painful preek
----
'''Having No Lips Must Suck'''

Lips can be equipt if you'll pardon my quips to be ships, can be flips, can be drips, can be cracked whips, can be teasy strips, can be firm hips ... oh, dear, better keep from getting naughty ... can be salty chips, can be cheese dips ... oh, now I'm hungry ...

'''Let's Put a God on Trial'''

Ot tup eht eslaf dog no lairt<br>

----
It’s a funhouse, a madhouse, a palace of magical sin<br>
But beware you leave nothing behind<br>
For if you go back through the way you came in<br>
The Dam Dog will swallow your mind.
----
Oh, Oblivion is full of games to make you scream and chortle,<br>
Like, Guess the Disaster’s Path, or Pin The Madness on the Mortal.<br>
And there’s always poetry involved, for it is the Princes’ duty<br>
To take the ugly in your world and give it our own beauty<br>
The marble jaws of Oblivion forever opening and shutting<br>
Like poetry, you let Mundus run, and then do a lot of cutting.<br>
A plague here, pestilence there, it’s so difficult choosing,<br>
But when we’re not doing that, we trying to be amusing.

'''Mehrunes Dagon'''

There once was a Prince named Mehrunes<br>
Whose buttocks sounded sonorous tunes<br>
‘Twas an odiferous song<br>
People sang before long<br>
They had enough of his full crescent moons.
----
'''Hermaeus Mora'''

There once was a Prince named Hermaeus,<br>
Whose voice was a thundering bray, thus<br>
People harkened to his call<br>
Til they discovered that all<br>
He was, was just withershin chaos.

'''Sheogorath The Banker'''

it’s nice to think you’d easily recognize<br>
a raving lunatic with your myopic eyes<br>
his hair is all askew, possessions in bags,<br>
he’s draped in chains or festooned in rags<br>
peering in too clearly is a dangerous task<br>
you don’t know what is behind the mask

the smiling man on the street moving in your direction<br>
might be wanting your teeth for his molar collection<br>
you trust your spare key to the sweet lady next door<br>
never suspecting a thing ‘til your blood’s on the floor<br>
the fine merchant, those cute kids, that pair of newlyweds,<br>
you’d be filled with pure horror if you looked in their heads

so, some say i choose this form to put you at ease<br>
with middle class formalities, thank you and please,<br>
others say it’s symbolic, though my bank has no walls<br>
and there’s no penalty for early mental withdrawals
----
'''On Writing Poetry'''

the meter’s quite appalling<br>
like bad fruit from out of season<br>
the witless wit rather galling<br>
and i’ve got no rhyme or reason

don’t think i’m being modest<br>
per the bad verbs and noun declension<br>
i’m proud as a pillow bout my oddest<br>
poems of extradimensional demention

more insane than all those psijics<br>
read my words and feel the curse<br>
boil the brains of all my critics<br>
who say i’ve gone from bad to verse
----
'''Sewing With Hearsay'''

When sewing a garment using thread coarse<br>
To create a gown of some beautiful art<br>
You might find that without a primary source<br>
One tug on the thread, and it all falls apart.
----
'''Sithis'''

Thither thin Sithis did slither the plinth<br>
So she supped and she sipped on thick absinthe<br>
Thus sated she waited, her sick thoughts with pith<br>
Lisping sibilant hisses does this Sithis writhe

"Amusing sport," insolent Sithis doth say,<br>
"This hundredth pastime in ether’s sweet sway.<br>
The assassin’s soul, his carcass is a myth that I miss<br>
Sailing insane into the teeth of the ceaseless abyss."

Whither Sithis withered, this they seldom say,<br>
A rancid kiss of passing sin, sagging death doth sway,<br>
On a starry isthmus soaked by thick salinic slime,<br>
Whisper thelemic solipsisms on supple flesh sublime

'''On The Misspelling Of His Name'''

Part I

You left out an O, my jobbernowled brother<br>
The name's Sheogorath, Sheograth is another<br>
A herder who lives with his family and his flock<br>
In an adorable little cottage in north High Rock<br>
His wife is fair and portly, still girlish for her age,<br>
His older son lives elsewhere, an actor on the stage,<br>
They get loving letters from him every single week<br>
Which proud Sheograth reads though his literacy's weak.<br>
A middle daughter and infant son complete the brood.<br>
She is sweet and shy, with a talent for cooking food,<br>
And though the tot is too young to have much personality<br>
He's the cutest, mildest child in the High Rock principality.<br>
They're happy if not rich in their modest little hovel,<br>
'Til Sheograth, mad, bludgeons them all with a shovel.

Part II

Don't worry, young gascleramp, I don't care about the spelling,<br>
'Twas an excuse to tell a bloody tale that's worth bloody telling<br>
Many hiss my name in incoherent gibberings and squeaks,<br>
Or wild-eyed tongueless faces who voicelessly speaks<br>
Plenty screech my name in terror or croak it like a frog<br>
I'll even come politely when people call for the daM doG.
----
And the greatest trick I ever pulled since light came to my brain<br>
Was holding Mundus in my jaw and slowly biting down
----
It has absolutely nothing to do with feeling like it or not. It is not what I say but what you hear. The entirety of Mundus is staring at a handkerchief and calling it a hacksaw.

As the poet Ithijjithi wrote before the Marukh tied rocks to his feet so he sunk from the clouds into the waves:<br>
'''Y'''clept the world is only light<br>

'''OF REALITY.'''
----
First thing in the morning, M. Bal likes to slay<br>
A random principality, that's how he starts his day.<br>
Then he does his stretches, and if he's feeling wrath,<br>
He'll make someone's guts explode, then he has his bath.<br>
For breakfast, he has tea and jam, listening for the news<br>
Of the temple that collapsed, people kneeling in the pews.<br>
After lightning strikes in Elsweyr and floods in Daggerfall,<br>
An inferno in Solitude, why, then, does Molag Bal<br>
Take a break before smashing more with a deafening crunch?<br>
No, he's a busy Daedroth, so he takes a working lunch.<br>
All afternoon and evening, it's kill and kill and kill<br>
And kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and kill, until<br>
He finds the day's last victim, it's always good to view<br>
The last one to annihilate today, and today that one is you.

----
O'er the treetops, the worm takes flight,<br>
'Tis no dragon, it is Peryite.<br>
Like a shadow over country and city,<br>
Comes the harbinger, Peryite.<br>
Pestilence blooms with each wing beat.<br>
For whom doth seek Peryite?
----
Azura:<br>
Who would bet with me not expecting a cheat?<br>
To play the game fairly is the worst kind of deceit.<br>
You wish to dance 'til the floor burns with white heat.<br>
Your last waltz with Vivec, he stepped on your feet.
----
Oh, yes, the path is very crowded,<br>
But it is smooth and the skies unclouded,<br>
Those who think it's steep and twisted<br>
Which you can't move on unassisted<br>
Don't know you walk it without any strain<br>
Much easier than the rocks of the sane.<br>
Oh, yes, your fellow walkers may be odd<br>
As you stroll on the lunatic promenade.<br>
They stare and dribble and screech shrill<br>
Some move faster yet while standing still<br>
So, join the march, move fast, no slowing,<br>
No promises where this boulevard's going<br>
Run free cross the bridge that span the gaps<br>
(And, oh, steer clear of all the tourist traps.)
----
Ah, the hot topic is soul possessing<br>
The subject I'm always sharp addressing<br>
What is it like, you're no doubt guessing<br>
A wound that festers, clot abscessing<br>
The force on your head now harder pressing<br>
A spice-laden breeze the wind caressing<br>
In your body, a darker soul oppressing,<br>
Til yourself, your own self acquiescing<br>
Then ceases to fight, it's not distressing.<br>
When I'm gone, this is what I'm stressing,<br>
You'll find yourself always obsessing<br>
How sweet is Sheogorath's blessing
----
Shiogorath is a word a lambling might bleat<br>
While choking on a particularly thorny thistle<br>
His blood raw throat, breath dry like a whistle.<br>
But a ruse by any name would smell as sweet.
----
Impossibility, probability, likelihood, and odds<br>
When one is considering the killing of gods<br>
As the recipe says, firstly, when making a pie<br>
Create a new world, the old one must die<br>
When fourteen have come, then comes the Insider<br>
To stoke the hearth's flame, and thou, deicider,<br>
Can slaughter us all, cut our throats like mere swine,<br>
And drink deep of the blood of that which was divine.

You can sometimes tell I'm coming<br>
Swiftly and surely as black death<br>
Other times you are succumbing<br>
With no time to catch your breath

While I have you in my chill grip<br>
It's a spasmodic, frenzied event<br>
Sometimes I grab and let you slip<br>
And sometimes I like long torment

My brutality always overwhelms<br>
Though every guard has caught me,<br>
I move freely through the realms<br>
Dust to dust, I humble the haughty.
----
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts<br>
With barest wrists and stoutest boasts<br>
He thrusts his fists against the posts<br>
And still insists he sees the ghosts.
