The Code of Chivalry

My name is Don Quixote Del La Mancha. I am a knight in the coat of arms Give me a lance, give me a sword, and give me a steed Where is the king in all of this? I wear the Royal Spanish Crown and Gold Seal of San Fernando Levante I solemnly swear that booty and bounty shall rest with the king Even the Catholic Church Christen me for a swift victory I have signed and sealed orders to save the Princess Donesia Del Debosa Then, I shall rescue her from the evil clutches of the windmill dragon My chief architect, Poncho Sanchez is my right arm and canteen He is responsible for fresh food rations, cold drinks, and other supplies providing sustenance to our great adventure through the enchanted land of Spain. Even the sky clouds are shaped like windmills and blue dragons. Just pause for a moment and you can hear the sweet coronet horns played by the Spanish Royal Guards, along the way. A gallant foot soldier is he, thus Poncho trails me like a Swiss Guard, With his burro donkey friend, named El Donkey Camino Blanco As we approach the last horizon of the day, the code of chivalry shall not die
