Chivalry's Last Stand

I stand in defense of decorum and civility Spirited debates over a cup of tea I'm a staunch supporter of the art of statesmanship To be worthy of my fealty To gain my unwavering loyalty You must possess integrity and have a guileless lip I will demand no less I will cross swords with the best To ensure our cause stay pure and true I will not bend ear to chicanery I will not follow an evil command I declare this to be chivalry's last stand Where does one go when honor abates To follow someone with villainous traits No! To such I refuse to pledge my hand The world is awash in vulgar disposition It has yielded to every foul imposition Let valor prevail at chivalry's last stand

A great declaration Freddie, It's a pity there are not more people like yourself, the world would be a much more harmonious place if there was. /|\

Aw, Rick, you got me blushing. Ha ha ha. But, I am just cut that way. I love peace and love. I'm from the hippie/love child generation of the 60's and 70's. That's how we wanted the world to be. Appreciate the comment though. Love you always.
