CONFEESION OF A TARNISHED KNIGHT

TARNISHED KNIGHT COMES CLEAN

Yes he is a Tarnished Knight,

Saving maidens in distress.

Cannot save them all

But he does his very best.

 

The keyboard is his steed,

And words are his sword.

He writes words of wiz-dumb

So they are never bored.

 

He writes all the words

That they cannot do.

He can make a tear drop

Or maybe even two.

 

He can make you smile

Even when you’re blue

That is what a tarnished Knight

Is really supposed to do.

 

For he has got his tarnish

From things he used to be.

Banished from his kingdom

He did have to flee.

 

For once he was a jouster,

Like in King Arthur’s court.

Never had a jousting stick,

Just a keyboard of some sort.

 

He wrote words of love

And let his passion flow

Wrote one to Arthur’s wife,

Woops!!! It was time to go.

 

So he started writing

To all the damsels in distress.

All his words were loving,

Came from deep within his chest.

 

So, if you’re feeling lonely

And feeling kinda blue,

Tell him what your problem is

And he will see what he can do.

 

Only thing he’ll guarantee

Is that he‘ll make you smile.

If you like the words he says

Go stay with him a while.

 

But if you have a husband,

A boyfriend or you’re gay,

Please don’t let him read,

Not one word that he say.

 

For now this Knight lives

In peace and harmony.

Having to move once again

Will be way too much for me.

 

T.K.

[rt farris]

entertaining and creative. takes all the "heaviness" out of that man/woman thing. i enjoy your work immensely.

It's good to come clean, clears out lots of cob webs, you can make anything rhythm. Keep the poems rolling in.
