Joust
Jousting is not done,
but he was adept at it,
I tried to learn,
but dropped most of it,
He showed me the sapphire,
and then a Zephyr,
and then his bag of tricks,
he told me if you see through the sapphire,
and catch the light through zephyr,
in a focus on jousting sticks,
a magic would happen,
and you would joust automatically,
without having to do so at all,
I kept on trying just that,
he made fool of me all the time,
one day he came and said,
if you can spare so much efforts,
on a tale to joust,
you probably would one day joust real well
