The Tarnished Knight

A poem I did during last school year.

Let me tell you an interesting tale

One with damsels and shining knights in mail

You know this one; with a castle and beast

Waiting for a brave man on which to feast

But here comes a man with tarnished armor

Armed with his wit and skills of a farmer

Wielding good nature he charmed the large beast

So the damsel’s distress would then be ceased

I wish I could say they lived happily,

But the damsel just wanted to be free.

No gratitude for his amazing deed.

No fulfillment for the young lover’s need.

Through cruel rejection the young lady won

Breaking male hearts until her days were done.

As for the tarnished knight, he went to sea.

He claimed, “There’s plenty of fish there for me.”

Author's Note
