Tapioca - Knights Crusade

Tapioca (Free Verse) I’ll always be thoughtful and treat you well Mi amor If you want for food, it will always be there Mi amor I’d protect you from the gates of hell Mi amor Whatever you desire is yours Mi amor But you cannot have my tapioca Feb. 6, 2003 The Knight’s Crusade (Villanelle) Dearest damsel, thou art my life If thou want for food, it will always be there I will offer comfit and other gourmet fare Whatever jewels ye desire I present to you Be it Australian opals or Colombian gold Dearest damsel, thou art are my life The ravages of nature may threaten thee But I’ll cool thee in the brutal heat and warm thee in the bitter cold I will slay where all the dragons dwell I'll protect thee from the gates of hell Dearest damsel, thou art my life My strength and resolve to win thy love I will defy the gods above Until my labors bring fruition all these enumerations that I have stated I promise thee with all my heart Dearest damsel, thou art my life But thou cannot have my Tapioca May 4, 2014 Makeover Contest Roy Jerden Ralph Sergi March 26, 2015
