Back in the day knights were all handsome and brave and their ladies lived in castles and worked on their weaving or tapestry. Everyone was happy… really??
A Knight’s Lament.
In days of old when knights were bold
The dwellings stank and winds blew cold.
The blacksmith lost a stone a day
Slaving in his forge to earn his pay.
The damsels in their gowns billowing
Trudged through mud a flowing.
The knights in their armour still died
Their damsels in their draughty castles cried.
The halls were draughty the bedrooms
Worse no flushing loos what a curse.
In days of old when knights were bold.
Life was hard if truth were told!
