NO LADY IN THE LAKE

NO LADY IN THE LAKE

.

.


The knight, imbued with chivalry


Went off to slay the dragon


He pinned a rose favor to his breast


Drank courage from a flagon

.

.

He went through every trial and test


Spent every coin of treasure


Suffered bleak and endless days


Not seeking wealth or pleasure

.

.

Only when his substance was spent


His spirit finally broken


He saw the rose was cheap and fake


A trite and useless token

.

.

Beware, all ye noble Knights


Before venturing forth on a quest


You may not want the worthless prize


Though you nobly passed each test

.
