Knightâs Lowly Quest
A formerly imposing knight
has been ejected off his horse.
The vassal staggers listlessly,
abandoning a broken sword.
He feels like a longbow archer,
with once keen vision, who's gone blind;
a lost wayfarer wandering
without a lantern as his guide.
A Crusader slumps disparaged,
devoid of a religious quest;
with all of the earth's magic gone,
a wizard hobbles powerless.
The toothless troubadour mumbles
glumly, with nothing to extol.
This great lover hangs impotent,
while scouring the toilet bowl.
