The Knights Tale
Sir John the Brave as he is now known for he once slew a dragon,
Became the champion of the King and protector of his wagon.
The King it seems had a magic touch that changed his coach to gold,
And now Sir John is by honor bound to guard it I am told.
This duty gives Sir John a lot of time to deal with as he pleases,
To pre-arrange his dalliances by preparing fine wine and cheeses.
It seems the knight has gained a taste for gourmet food and drink,
So now all he has to do to get a date is to give a little wink.
But his one true love is a Lady that keeps him forever waiting,
He can’t find the way to unlock her heart and it’s getting irritating.
You’d think a knight of his stature would be considered quite a catch,
But this Lady keeps him at arms length and it seems he’s met his match.
