With nymphs who are pure and sincere!

trapped at the bottom of a dungeon

What madness then drove him to save the king and his men?

shine your shoe, don a spat.
That's the proper way to do;
adopt a cultured world view.

I am not always under,
But I haven’t learned to surf the top.
Arriving at the trough and wondering
When the pain is going to just stop.
