Poem
Now it was Kay’s first tournament day And he was competing in London away Arthur had forgotten his brother’s sword And was in trouble with his Lord In search of a sword he wondered alone And there found a blade buried in stone He pulled on the hilt, and slid out the shaft Arthur gave out a joyous laugh He ran back filled with glee And gave him the sword he’d found for thee His brother read the message aloud Drawing in a confused crowd Whoever withdraws the sword from this stone Would be crowned King and succeed the throne Many men tried and failed this task But Arthur fulfilled his destiny at last The crowd thronged and wanted to know Who pulled the sword free from the stone “It was I, it was I”, Arthur replied Then you shall be King they all cried Arthur was crowned by St.Dubricius He was only fifteen, and vigorous But the local kings would not agree And formed an alliance against He But Merlin was on Arthur’s side And became his confidante and guide He led him to a glorious lake With a sorceres Lady for his name sake Enchanting a spell, it's power restored Blessed by the Gods, whom mystically forged She named the sword Excalibur Fit for a king and a mighty warrior Then Arthur did battle with all the kings He defeated them all, and did mighty things With Excalibur always by his side He won many battles and survived Camelot became Arthur’s home A grand royal palace for his throne Leodegrances daughter did he court A princess from another’s fort Her name was Guinevere Arthur loved and drew her near In time he asked for her hand in marriage King Leodegrances supplied a splended carriage © Copyright 24th December 2010 K.C.Leake
