He Is Certainly Built
Oh, my, he is certainly built! The women said of the knight.
He was hidden in armor that was truly marvelous and right.
If he had half the muscles his armor had, he was a catch.
He is my hero a lady-in-waiting said, I think he’ll be my match!
He must pump the iron, and he can call me any day.
Said another excited maid, who was staring at him all the way.
The knight had no idea he was being referred to as meat.
He kept his shield on and next to his mentor, took a seat.
He surely is not built like that! A couple of maids said with a titter.
If he had half those muscles, he would make the queen quiver.
I think he’s quite the hunk, the princess said to her maid.
It is up to you to take a peek at this rare young sweet blade.
The maid crept into his bed chamber and was shocked to see.
He was built nothing like his armor; he was straight as a tree.
There were no muscles, but the princess had been mean.
He is built exactly like his armor, she lied to princess and queen.
