Henry and the Knight - Homophone Rhyme

HOMOPHONE RHYME STYLE TRIAL 

In shining armor I am here, YES, your hero knight
Rushing to your rescue anon, day or night

With my mighty steed, Henry, I’ll come crash down the gate
Watch it when you mount him, he’s got a funny gait

I’ll save you from the tower living on a tiny little cot
Jump into my arms and I by my troth you will be caught

I know last time I tried to catch you I may have missed
But alas, it was so foggy, I could not see past the mist

I’ll do better next time, or mayhaps I’ll bring a ladder
You can trust the former, even if you choose the latter

You needn’t be so offended to make me and Henry wait
I only asked for his sake if you’d gained a little weight

I snuck past enemy lines to find you, slid down the castle chute
Sorry if I got a little nervous when the guards began to shoot

It was only a potato gun, I still should not have ducked
Or pushed you backwards onto Henry waiting underneath the duct

I’ll free you always, whether from monsters or an evil reign
As long as it’s nice weather, Henry doesn’t like the rain

That dragon doesn’t stand a chance, through the air I flew
Well, I was going to… but I threw up, I had the flu

I was going to bellow, “Beshrew thee!” but my voice was a bit hoarse
I really am Prince Charming, just with a temperamental horse

My apologies he ate your hair, he thought it was hay in your braid
It’s possible he’s an ass, as nay, he doesn’t neigh, but hey, he brayed?
