The Seven Dwarves Poem

Discussion

Now that the seventh Secret Lair bonus card printing of Seven Dwarves has been revealed in the Flower Power lands drop, we have a complete poem. This poem is found in the flavor text of SLD 813-819, and reads as follows:

I used to hunt gems, till I got too rich.

Away swing away, strike the ore true. (813)

Then I lost it all and wound up in a ditch.

Away swing away, strike the ore true. (814)

Swinging my axe brings me great pleasure.

Away swing away, strike the ore true. (815)

Till I hit that lode and find great treasure.

Away swing away, strike the ore true. (816)

My beard gets gray and my face gets old.

Away swing away, strike the ore true. (817)

That’s okay by me, as long as I get gold.

Away swing away, strike the ore true. (818)

Away swing away, strike the ore true.

Away swing away, strike the ore true. (819)

Just a fun little thing I noticed. Does anyone else have examples of long-running continuations of flavor text like this?
