“Three little hamsters, all unworried,
Ran through the kitchen, jumped and scurried,

Personal Commentary/Observation
I think that I would want at least one archer in the rafters - the best I could find in my realm. Their only job would be to pick off the assassin(s) before he/she can reach me.

Robins are lovely but strange birds. I wonder why they all seem to stay at least 10 feet apart when the flock is feeding. If one moves too close, they shift to put that 10 feet of space back in place. Are they that well regimented?
