Loser

I know my Damsel waits for me
Perhaps chained to some balcony 
If I could only find the Key
I could set her free

The castle walls are high, I hear
Guarded by some guys, I fear
How to get inside's unclear
Planning this could take a year

This castle might just have a moat
I have no money for a boat
I can not swim, not even float
Boy, this gets my goat !

And in the moat, may dwell a fish
That thinks that I'm a tasty dish
It's not wise to take such risk
A thought, I really must dismiss 

And if I got inside the gate
A dragon there, must surely wait
And eagerly anticipate 
To meet with me and seal my fate

On second thought, I think I'll stay
On bended knee, I'll hope and pray
That eventually I'll find a way
And rescue her some other day
