Default Weaponizing Doggerel: A Collection of Incantations

Rot and ruin, ash and rust
All things soon will turn to dust

Wounds are for the desperate, blows are for the strong.
Balm and oil for weary flesh all cut and bruised with wrong.

That which dwells beyond the world's wall
Hear my voice and answer my call
The gate is open, the path is clear
Slay my foe, fill hearts with fear

As within, so without.
A fire burns within my heart
Let my fury burst forth.
My vengeance unleashed

Unyielding stone in immovable stance
The music does play, awaken and dance

Black water white water, blue water, green;
too much water ruptures his spleen!

That one sounds like it could be one couplet of a longer invocation for something really, really nasty, world-shaking nasty.

Bow to me, powers of the land
Take new form at my command

Smoke and shadow, light and lies
Dance for me, deceive all eyes

A whisper on the wind, a thought you can't forget
The serpent's coils around your mind as your sun will set
The willow bends
Resistance ends
I cannot be denied
You will obey
Under my sway
My hook set deep inside

Rabbits, Chickens, Cows and Ducks;
Turn the lights on, FIAT LUX!

Magic 1e at least.

For my part I'll try and give you some with a clerical bent (empahsis on the "bent).

"Hail to the Sun God!
He sure is a Fun God!
Ra! Ra! Ra!"

"Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Don't hang around now
It's Heaven of bust!"

Yes, these things actualy have been heard around my gaming table. I have witnesses.

Dark god's rage,
fill my veins
Open my cage
Shatter chains
All my strength unleashed

Aphrodite hear my plea
The one I want does not want me
The boon that I beg from you
Is for love's arrow to fly true

Smoke and shadow, dust and bone
The gift of Cadmus is my own
A fearsome thrall at my command
For it is here we make our stand

You know the world could be your oyster
You just put trust in me
Cause we'll keep the good times rolling
Wait and see
Wait and see
Wait and see

Cribbed from Oysterband's When I'm up, but works as an incantation for a spell to make people like and trust you.
