A Knight of Passion

In days of old, ye knights were bold And Dragons roamed the land Sir Lancelot, he was a knight And Fought with Sword in hand White horse he rode With his lance A shiny suit of armour Beware this knight, the story goes He really is a charmer! Now one fine day, he saw a lass And whispered in her ear A shock he got, when she revealed I’m lady Guinevere In love they fell Before too long Merlin cast a spell While hunting out one afternoon The king, black knight would tell Black knight ‘s plan Came alight When Lancelot was banished Shed a tear, did Guinevere When she learned he’d vanished. Now this legend Hath been told A morale doth contain Keep your lance, tucked in your pants And save yourself the pain!

Hello Roger, Really like the way the poem blends together from title to final line. I enjoy wit, humor and irony in a poem and this has it all. Arthurian legend and Camelot are changed forever. Oliver

We must observe "Bewares" that cause pain and leave us nothing gained. Good work Roger

A remarkable poem on the Knights of the Round Table, and the tragic tale of love and lost friendship, a beautiful poem indeed.

But if the knight had done what you advised, there would be no Knight Of Passion...
