The Carousel Knight

A brave little knight in the carousel sky
Chose the white horse with his head tossed high
The one who pranced with a warrior's pride
To soar through the clouds where evil foes hide

Above the horizon winds carried his stallion
Harnessing his steed as his cavalry companion
So white was his mane as the billowing clouds
That fluttered in the wind like a silken shroud

Trudging through battles of wars long ago
Over scarred lands of his kingdom below
His fight had no ruin or blemish, he was courageous
The White Knight's crusade was simply to enchant us!
