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
