Poem
Alexandria was a gallant knight, She used to sit at Arthur’s Round Table. Dressed as a boy, she helped knights fight evil As the Blue eyed hero of this fable. The young lady fell in love with Arthur, But unknowing, he married Guinevere. Alex’s heart was hurt, but she stayed true, She battled alongside him without fear. Sparring with Lancelot, she learned to fight, Alex earned respect from her belov’d king, He never knew she was an armored girl. He only saw her long weapons in swing. On a dark and stormy night they set off, The knights of Camelot looked for The Grail; Alex as custom rode by Arthur’s side. They searched through forest glades without avail. Finally they came across a large cave, Its dark and dank depths were filled with despair. Alex entered in front of the brigade, Arthur gave her braveness no thought or care. Down in the black unfathomable cave, At the farthest reaches a light appeared. Guided by instincts, they knew this was it, The home of the Holy Grail they revered. The room guarding The Grail sparkled with gold, Hundreds of cups lined the intricate walls. Together the comrades stood and puzzled. Which of these cups would bring about their falls? Would it be a goblet, made out of glass? Could something like The Cup be plainly wood? Arthur studied the many chalices. He thought he’d found it, no one understood. On a pillar was a gold glass, shining. Its pleasant brightness filled up the whole room. Arthur was about to drink its liquid When Alex interfered and met her doom. Arthur’s brave knight wanted to try it first, She knew the wrong choice would bring instant death; So she begged Arthur to let her test first, After drinking, she soon ran out of breath. Alex knew that Christ was a carpenter, She wasn’t surprised that he’d chosen wrong. Alex knew that her love would bring her fall, So our hero bade a silent so long.
