4 Knights

4 corners, 4 knights 4 different ways to fight As they geared up for battle 1 of the metal men shouted, 3 on 1 thats no fun It hardly seems fair, so they argued and they debated until a plan of action came about Ok instead of 3 or 3 we go 2 on 2 You all got that, everyone plans to fallow through The knights all shook their heads, As they brought out their swords All 4 stood facing the knight that they thought should go toward Now it's 1 to 1 to 1 to 1 Each one of us will be done, done, done, done And we won't be able to have, a true knight, to have won! "Fine" said the smartest of the 4 Black to white, and green vs blue, Now we each have 2 groups of 2 They all agreed each took their battle poses, and then attacked Each fighting valiantly for their color White nearly missed blacks throat, green knocked blues helmet off, blue injured greens leg, And black Kept knocking white back After a while of fighting it had seemed that they all were equally matched Each one out of breath but full on determination to be the winner However blue, the smartest of the 3 Was board as could be He wanted the match to be done He was tired that it was a 2 on 2 fight Nor did he wish to battle the winner of black vs white He wanted to win now So he devised a plan Was it cheating, yes. Was it cunning, even more so. Was it wrong, no. Because dead men don't talk As his 1 on 1 match with green steadily progressed He carefully watched black and white's fight at their best He knew opportunity would come when least expected He kept defending against green until opportunity would strike Then out of the blue white let his guard down As the blue knight kicked dirt into the helmet of the white Blacks blade fell down as it was still in full flight Black killed white, while green stood still in shock Blue seized opportunity where it was abundant, and killed the motionless knights of black and green He stood on all three and said, 3 vs 1, you should have picked, and I might have been dead. A certain joy came ringing about From being the cleaver knight with out a doubt But Minutes passed and so did the hype Silence fell upon him, no one to talk to not one to gripe. If the match had lasted a little longer Maybe his pride for winning might have been a little stronger 4 corners, 4 knights, 4 different ways to fight, 3 graves, 3 fools, 3 vengeful ghouls, 2 horses, 2 knights 2 unfair fights 1 winner, 1 cheater, 1 cleaver creature
