Once uppon a time,
heroes could shine.
The rules of knighthood,
from everyone understood.

Naive but gentle,
in armor to mentle,
Honor as main principle,
made the special ones invincible.

The colour of the knight,
did tell you his ability to fight.
And if black or red,
very likely dead.

By the white or golden fighter,
slim fit torso, pants even tighter.
The armory is another factor,
it represents the character of the actor.

The crossbow,
is considered as cowardy low.
At least as strong and skilled in dexterity,
have been those using mainly bow archery.

True honor of course is the melee,
best in a duel to see.
Who is best, who has might,
as the stronger is always right.

Clever but deceitful,
but always fierceful,
the wielder of the morning star,
understand how useless shields are,

and the shield is the bulwark,
against the evil and the dark,
following this logic string,
a two handed sword fighter is no good king.

Axes and spears,
it sometimes appears,
that they are tolerated side tools,
so under conditions inside knight rules.

The weapon of honor is the sword,
the weapon of the honorable lord,
the hero of the tale,
struggeling but never completely to fail,

overruled by the knights colour situaton,
wielding the sword is honor and dedication,
Chivalry solidified,
appreciated and mystified.

Remember there is Excalibur,
of King Arthur,
and the sister sword Galatine,
the sword of Sir Gwain,

and Sir Lancelot the mighty knight,
wielded the fairy sword Arondight,
They are bonded to magic and fate,
of curses and the mighty ones create,

The sword then defines the knight,
as it is the sword who does the fight,
even more mysterious their creators,
rare and sometims even traitors,

but most valuable and honored,
the weapon to those of honor donored.
While Wyland and Trebuchet are traditional,
the mightier the sword the more magical.

The lady of the Lake, a sorceress,
she made swords to impress.
Excalibur itself is the work of Merlin,
unmatched in the magicians kin.

Which knight would you be?
in colour and armory?
which tale would be yours?
would it be on Avalon shores?

Or a fairy forest,
or being at Arthurs castle guest,
dream about some time,
as this dream would be thine
