You’ve been subject to scrutiny, stalked just a bit,
and been featured a lot since your role was announced,
so I’m honestly rather ashamed to admit
that I still can’t work out how your name is pronounced.

You’ve got background in theater, clowning, and comedy,
something we’d love to see more of today.
A performance of this would be quite the commodity;
got any clips? Could you send them our way?

When you learned you would only use swords made of wood
did you feel like your character’s being deprived?
If he fought half as well as we know that he could,
is it possible Syrio might have survived?

Did Syrio really salute just for me?
Now I must squeal with fanboyish glee!
But really, I came here for your AMA;
could you answer some questions?
...I guess not today.

A man needs his fingers to type,
but my tongue, I just use it to gripe.
Now go tell the lion
he's not Robert's scion;
his claim to the throne is just tripe.
