The Days of the Knights Shape

.                  Back in
                the days of
               the  Knights
               Lack          of
                           wood to
                           cook food
                         would, leave
                         a  Knight not
                        able to fight, or
                        not as right as
                        a knight should
                           They'd say                     xxxxxxxxxxxx
                       "That knight's in                ooooooooooooo
                     a daze!" So on those           day's they would
             cut wood. They would  call them  the wood cut days
            I suppose as rightly they should!    It came  to pass
           one "wood  cut  day"  The cas-         tle came under
          attack The Knights were dazed              all  night
         they    say When even a snack,                they
       would      lack! The fair maid-                      en
     needed       wood for her stove
    To get           the knights head
  back in           place.  That's why
  when             he  said,   "I've got
 xxxxxxx        wood!" She would glow
   xxxxx        with a  smile  on her face!
    ***        She cooked up a most bounti-
      x         ful meal.  After they ate,  they
      x        fought so hard, The  Knights  with
      x      no daze were winner's. The wood then
      x       stood high in                     regard! The
      x         moral of the                       story is this,
      x          When quelling                   Knights needs,
      x           make no mis-                    takes. You can
      x            ask any blush-                   ing maiden, the 
      x       difference some                       good  wood makes!

Oh my gosh!! I'm so impressed. Funny, not knowing what was in store, I began reading as "Back in the days of Knight's lack of wood (as if there were such a time ;) I was thinking I must have a dirty mind, until I continued on. Everybody's life is better, I guess, when good wood stands high. LOL. Loved this and the illustration!!
