3. Jazz

The ryghte hande man to Optimus Prime
was speciale agente Jazz, who, time after time,

displayed a penchaunte for flayre and daring,
even when certayne defete was staring

him ryghte in his unflynching opticale visor
(whyche flashed like a houngry wolf's incisor.)

He hunted by instincte, hadde a personale style
that is harde to describe - a mixture of guile

and enduring coole. Though of everychoone,
there was no betere bot to get a job done.

Straunge that a soldiere who coulde run ringes
rounde otheres should love finere thinges,

but Jazz was almoost as well knoune
for his grete eruditione, and full-bloune

immersione in materes of culture and taste,
not of high arte counciles, but the smalle, displaced

and primitive worldes that our warre scarred.
He had the compunction to staunchely guard

their fleating traditiones. A grete distractione
to an otherwyse reliable mastere of actione.
