Michael Phillip Jagger
learned to strut and sway with swagger
the queen thought him so chique
she knighted him and now he is known as Sir Mick
would become excited
by queen he had been invited
when he was knighted
to win gave up soul
gain power was his goal
position he stole
seem so suspicious
found things to be fictitious
also felicitous
under dome my home
ran teeth through hair with come
in place where i roam
Ringo was knighted today
For music and his entertaining way
He was the last living Beatle
To have this honour for his musical mettle
For peace love and music he is well known
And for his sixties peace sign shown
So as the Beatles start to fade from memory
We will always remember their story.

Knighted Cards
Richard Boone
Presented Paladin cards under an ominous tune.
First gunslinger so erudite
In circumstances likely to explode like cordite.
The Knighted Night
Too much sun can kill the skin,
The Benevolent whispered to me,
The daylight’s hard due diligence done,
Grants no shade from toil for free…
But yield instead to my calm implore,
Let loose the day’s long listed sins,
Walk into me to find the cure,
For all day’s debts I have forgiven.
So Benevolent marked in winter’s woods,
a place where I alone would find,
that kinder, gentler, steadfast light,
Where’s It’s man, the moon did shine.
And Benevolent breathed upon my skin,
and bathed me in moon’s light,
To rejuvenate the child within…
With dark, restore my sight.
And with new eyes I turned to see,
Who my Benevolent could truly be,
When in-beamed moonlight cascading down,
To dress Benevolent in his crown…
And all I thought was mine to bear,
I wept for now – it all made right,
And my smile beamed forth, as if a sword,
For Benevolent was the Night…
And with my beaming, smiling sword,
I Knighted Him the Night…

What we Read, is Where we Go...
I was knighted by the queen, I think
When I gate crashed the ball wearing pink
She said “goodnight I say”
“Guards take him away”
Due to the over indulgence of drink
