A Ballad of the Two Knights



Two knights rode forth at early dawn

A-seeking maids to wed,

Said one, "My lady must be fair,

With gold hair on her head."

Then spake the other knight-at-arms:

"I care not for her face,

But she I love must be a dove

For purity and grace."

And each knight blew upon his horn

And went his separate way,

And each knight found a lady-love

Before the fall of day.

But she was brown who should have had

The shining yellow hair --

I ween the knights forgot their words

Or else they ceased to care.

For he who wanted purity

Brought home a wanton wild,

And when each saw the other knight

I ween that each knight smiled.

Here Were Dragons

Ladies and gentlemen, moving along.

Now here is an interesting site.

An area where the dragons would throng

to ululate throughout the night.

As you will see from our careful recreation

these creatures will often astound

but they never deserved their dire reputation

as the most fearsome creatures around

With a forty foot wingspan or more

the dragons were kings of the skies.

A thunderclap flap that helped them to soar

(and distribute pollen nearby).

Yes they were strong and they could easily bear

a tree trunk around like a twig.

And they had fiery breath of which to beware

which could easily barbecue a pig.

And with all of this how do we portray them now?

Do we focus upon their great splendour?

No. We demonise or trivialise and I wonder how

can we do this on evidence so slender.

If you find pixies a pest, and they often infest

your workplace, your garden or home,

then you'd like me to suggest or even attest

to a solution for wherever they roam

In times gone by, as our researchers have found

the dragons would keep them under control.

You would have been glad to have dragons around.

Now 'all too common' is the pixies new role.

Now look to your left and what you will see

is a representative sample of tools.

And it might surprise you, as it surprised me

that the dragons never were fools.

They were massive and weighty, though streamlined.

but as we examine and research remains

the solitary fact that most surprises we find

was the incredible size of their brains.

It was known to be a sociable beastie

with remarkably strong family ties.

They long held a grudge against an enemy

and they never forgot their allies

Then human beings arrived. Only briefly at first.

The presence of dragons frightened people away

The general consensus was that if worst came to worst

you would rapidly become a flambé.

But the dragons displayed no worse than an interest

and when word of this got around

the previously cowardly now returned in earnest

and when dragons approached stood their ground.

The sailors considered them a great source of food.

and turned their lands into a staging post.

The choicest discovery was a mewling newborn brood.

The young meat favoured by sailors the most.

The freelance knights were the next to arrive

looking for quests to increase their fame

"The dragons were too dangerous for us to leave them alive"

they claimed, "They kill. They mutilate and maim."

They whipped up a storm with their self serving lies

without showing a hint of a conscience.

The resulting outrage was what would finally catalyse

the mob wanting to sail to vengeance.

And then the dragons were no more.

The reason, no great mystery -

It is down to the humans of yore

that the dragons are unnaturally history.

One Knight's Passion

by Sea_of_okc

There is no dragon's fiery breath

No black knight's sword dealing death

No creature of the land or sea

Could keep me from possessing thee

There is no thing that I could find

Not strong ale nor sweet wine

Even Merlin's herbs and such

Pale beside my lady's touch

There is no rose could smell so sweet

No fair maiden I might meet

No body in the sky above

That could outshine my lady love

There is no challenge I won't take

No quest too bold for me to make

No ties from which I wouldn't part

To win my fairest lady's heart

On my honor this I swear

All my life with you I'll share

I pledge my sword, my heart, my name

Pray tell me lady you'll do the same
