Cadsuane and Rand

[Sephy-Stabbity]

This is a poem my sister wrote about Cadsuane and Rand's rocky (to say the least) relationship. It's funny and I really loved it, so i got her permission to post it here :)

There Is Cadsuane Sitting On My Sofa

There is Cadsuane sitting on my sofa,

Her knitting sprawled across the cushions.

She is now my maddening advisor,

And giving me nasty “conditions”

She keeps ordering my Ashaman about,

And expects us to obey as well,

The Aes Sedai are so shocked that they shout

“Cadsuane, you’re alive and well?!”

Min says she’ll teach me a lesson,

Though I can’t imagine what that can be.

When she’s around I feel anger and tension,

There is just no lesson I can see!

She scolds me for all things big and small,

She tries all my remaining defenses.

Her counting drives me up the wall,

As she adds up all my offences!

No one seems to get on her good side,

Not Alanna, not Min, not Logain,

She even has the nerve to deride,

Of all people- Darmodred, Moiraine!

Uh oh, perhaps I spoke too soon,

For the one person she won’t dismiss,

Sorilea, has just entered the room.

Oh, Light, is there no end to this?

[Weird Harold]

Nice.

Welcome to the madhouse.

[FelixPax]

Very good.



For the one person she won’t dismiss,

Sorilea, has just entered the room.

Laugh, but then again Sorilea either knowingly or not almost knocked off Cadsuane thru Verin's later actions.

Cadsuane is like a Great Aunt who's just too direct in her actions...Verin is the slightly younger Aunt who's a crafty plotter.

Rand simply has a short fuse...he did ask for "her advice"...not the other way around...if he doesn't agree the "advice" then that's his choice. So why make a big fuss over Cadsuane, Rand?

Did your sister create a poem about Verin as well, by chance?

Verin, Verin, oh Verin...why did you?
