The Book of Beaky
Chapter 1
1 And it is written that for the armour to be called beaky armour, it
must have a beaky helmet.
2 And the faithful said, this is true.
3 But it is said a beaky helmet is not enough. For verily is also
needs the correct legs.
4 And the faithful said, this is wise.
5 These legs must be made of only two section, not three. A separate
knee joint is unacceptable.
6 And the faithful said, completely unacceptable.
7 But the correct legs and correct helmet is still not enough. The
chest section needs also to be correct.
8 And the faithful said, you got that one right.
9 For the chest cabling must be exposed for all to see and not hidden
from sight.
10 And the faithful said, true, very true.
11 And so the faithful, satisfied about what was beaky and what was
not, started to go home.
12 But it is written there is still another point.
13 And the faithful said, not another point.
14 Yes. Another point.
15 And the faithful said, oh go on then.
16 For even if helmet, legs and chest are right unless the left
shoulder pad is unrimmed and bestudded it is a FALSE BEAKY.
17 And the faithful said, he's going over the top now.
18 But I'm right you know.
19 And the faithful said, OK, you are right.
20 SO SAYETH THE BOOK OF BEAKY
