The Haunting Adventures of a Dirty Blonde Knight-Whacking the Kraken

There was a knight with locks that were golden 
Protecting a kingdom in threat of folding 
King and his trusting mighty duck 
Caring only for the almighty buck 
From the north 
Sharks were present for what it was worth 
Putting on stage predators telling them to go forth 
Until one day in a foggy dream 
A mariner let out a scream 
There was a gigantic Kraken
Started attacking 
With only eleven on board 
Holding things on shore 
Trying not the rip the chord 
Apparently the King’s mighty duck 
Got wind about the maritime bad luck 
Issuing a statement through a loud quack 
How the fisherman got whacked 
Upon pondering the news 
King knew what to do 
Take the singing predator out on a date 
Make them lyrical bait 
Seasoned to perfection 
No reason for a rejection 
Sending the sharks in 
From the tank where they are projected to win 
Sticking out their deadly fin 
Somewhere in the desert the knight with golden locks 
Was watching the clock 
When a peasant came by 
Noticing the golden lock good looking guy 
Walking her coyote companion 
Ran in 
To each other 
Both needing a lover 
Smiling a grin 
Knight with the golden locks was getting ready to sin 
When a quack was heard 
King’s message distributed from his trusting swimming bird 
“What do you mean Kraken is alive 
Wasn’t the sea hawks patrolling the sky 
I must go and be the 12th man 
Take a warrior stand” 
Off the knight with the golden locks went into battle 
Easy corralling the aqua monster like it was cattle 
In the end he steamed Kraken real good 
Delicious sea food 
Understood 
Glazed with special oils 
Before wrapped in foil 
Canucks placed at its side 
Decorating the meal that was worth a tasty try 
When the knight with golden locks came home 
There was a call on his phone 
From the peasant girl asking “are you all alone?” 
Meeting halfway 
Wedding ring proposing lifelong stays 
As for the Kraken 
Needed to receive backing 
Sharks and predators answered the request 
Wanting the knight with golden locks to be put to another test
