Chivalrous Knights
This gallery of nobles
dressed in their finery
seated around the king
regal colours and ivory
knights dressed in armour
attendants ever ready
this tournament is set
atmosphere so heady
to win the great reward
young men to prove their worth
facing the king`s champion
this is their right since birth
the sounds of thunderous hooves
and mighty horses racing past
followed by clash of lances
their reactions need to be fast
defeated, the losers leave
the triumphant knights celebrate
with honours bestowed by the king
new champion they nominate
loud cheers of excited crowds
after the joust has been won
so let the feast commence
this kingdom will have some fun!
