Two things are worth fighting for
My heart and your love;
Though a squire now, when knighted
I will be your champion...

Trump Had Assured Us

Trump assured us that he was a squire,
Who had excelled at producing an empire;
Somewhat later,
Being dictator;
President did become his biggest desire.

In a bar room they boldly contested
Though both were quite fully breasted
On the wall who’d pee higher
The dame or her squire
He lost when "no hands" was requested

He set his classic in La Mancha
Don Quxiote and sidekick Panza
This duet made an awful fist
Ready material for a satorist-
Sancho the squire,Don the idealist

It's pretty important
to know the difference
between squire and square.

Mayor and mare
there and their
fair and fare.

Lust and lost
Cussed and cost
Bust and bossed

Depends on the pronunciation, don't it?

A phone call makes all of it real....

Hetty,loved by simple Adam Bede
Yet her heart felt another need
Her head was turned by the fickle squire
With many a' consequence so dire,
Her actions set the village life afire.

George Eliot's novel of 19th century social realism-Adam Bede...

A dowager lady of means,
Kept everything spotlessly clean.
She was up at cock's crow,
To cook, clean and sew.
Even her floors had a sheen.

Her neighbor, a fine country squire,
Said, "Maam, do you ever tire?"
She said, "Not a bit,
For I'm perfectly fit.
But you Sir could come light my fire."...

Sancho Panza loaned his trusty donkey to Don Quixote
they had finally reached the village of the gorgeous Dulcinea.
Baskets brimming with excited sunflowers would be delivered.
The squire congratulated himself for getting the knight-errant here.
He sat back to watch the performance, as Quixote began to sing....

If one does so desire
when old seek to retire
a move hence to Yorkshire
to live and to aspire,
a life that of a squire
with lust and then to sire
beside the light of  fire,
relax and then expire
except the Sunday’s choir
song to the Messiah,
a note to bliss require
an entry, oh desire!

I am the liquid of moonlight;
Ashes of dreams.
I am the realization of the impossible;
Renunciation of thought, serene.
I swim the seasons of time;
A memory of what's to come.
I am the flawless equanimity of the outcaste scavenger;
The infinite equilibrium of the illuminate sun.
I am the embodiment of dispelled desire;
The sage.
I am the squire....

Henry never wanted to work in the castle of the king.
And he certainly did not want to be a jester, to joke or to sing.
He wanted to be a squire, but it was not to be unfortunately.
Every single night he was summoned to be the best he could be.
Tonight the piper had already been taken out with an “off with his head”.
Henry knew one misstep or unfunny joke, and he might possibly be dead....

Lurking in fuzzy leftovers is seen
A quivering, crawling hairball of green
A florescent prune
Or cheese from the moon
Gurgles gastric, plastic alien spleen

The miser squire requires gluts of caffeine
To dissect this science project's gangrene
Harpoon on a spoon
Zoom to the saloon
Lunch ladies' supreme mystery cuisine.

Fire
And there you stood,
Burning bright,
Your bright light,
Welcoming me on that cold night.

Ah! What bliss it was to feel your warmth,
Through the cold winter night,
The night on which I was warm,
Under your welcoming light.

Blazing from the wood,
Worth a few pennies,
You gave me comfort,
Not available to many.

For giving me warmth
I thank you, O Fire
 You were in the battle of winter,
Indeed my squire....

Submissive squire on his foot 
Helping his best knight, to put
On the weapons o’ not so cute 

Beautified horses galloping,
The sharpen swords clanging, 
And wooden poles jousting,

While this beauty, mocks by tear,
Huddling, silently, in her own fear
Because of her one and only dear

For her love,
She prays of-
“Use the speed o’ thy eyes, oh knight o’ mine
For a love to dwell, forever, in arms o’ thine!”...

Peppermint Princess tries for attention daily
Wearing her candy cane Christmas colors so gaily,
It is only June the Calendar Enforcer in a prissy way.
Peppermint Princess does not care; she has come to play.

She dances around the Christmas Prince batting her eyes.
He has heard of her reputation, which is no big surprise.
She is a cute little thing he agrees with Jeeves, his Squire.
Gives him permission to date her, for she lights his fire....

Trump Forever Will Fume

In room in Mira Lago Trump will fume,
And he is an idiot  who likes to bloom;
In each place,
A basket case;
Each day deeper does appear his doom.

Haunted by his saddened face, swooned by his soul.
Enveloped in his love, with a heart that's gilded gold.
Suppressed by all his childhood fears, with nothing left forbidden.
Doubted by his ignorant mind, but with rage in his vision.
Hidden is what is in his heart, which is truely desired.
Deeming friends and dazzling gems that were stolen from a squire.
Aloof in the world he has banished me too, now that is not hindered.
In his mind I'll step about, with my rage slightly kindered....
