The Knight

Fire and smoke, and ashes of black. The tale only told, On a white marble plaque. Destruction, distraughtion, never foretold. Til this day, by a knight, So brave, and so bold. A camp, set a light, and burnt to the ground, By an evil, so dark, Set homeward bound. They met on a Friday, and agreed to a fight. Both ready, and armed, It would start at midnight. Stood in a circle, that was drawn on the floor. Facing each other, Audience cheering for gore. A bang of the gong, and the battle began. The knight gave one hit, And the evil man ran. Archers took aim, and fired their load. The knight turned away, And into the sunset, he rode. Now I ask you, dear princess, can I be your prince? Don’t you see, I’m the knight, Have been ever since.
