The Ride of the Gribbichungs - An Einzelskizzen

Sketch for a Drama:

Deep, deep, in the depths of the river Groin, a bunch of water swirls to and fro. A mighty rock protrudes from the surface of the water. The water, swirling, swirls it's way around the mighty rock. The sun glistens on the water and the rock. Deep in the depths, a swirly bit of foam makes it's way to the base of the rock.

E flat major.

A flatulent sea lion throws himself against the rock.

The swirling waters are disturbed. Three beautiful nymphs emerge from the depths. These are the Groin Maidens, the incarnations of nature and bumblebees and happy sea horses. You notice, at the top of the rock around which these nymphs are noodling, a shiny, golden, rock like substance. It is the Groin-Cabbage.

Major triad in E Marmite and Melba.

The Groin Maidens continue the cotillion. A cavern, heretofore unnoticed (though no faults of its own, it is a perfectly fine cavern as far as caverns go) produces an unsightly dwarfish creature: a dwarf.

His name is Badmintonerich. He makes for the groin maidens. He isn't all that lucky. He steals their Groin-Cabbage. The Cabbage is cursed. Well, not cursed per se. But certainly cursed if fashioned into  jewelry. Certainly cursed if fashioned into a RING.

Minor chord. The broth thickens.

Cue the apocalypse.
