Said Sir Percival Knight to his trusty steed,
“I’m feeling the need to be brave.
I long for a dangerous dragon to slay,
or a beautiful maiden to save.”
Said the trusty steed to his master knight,
“Today is no time for a quest.
We barely got home yesterday,
my feet are in need of a rest!”
“There’s no time to lose!” said the youthful knight.
“An ogre is out of control,
a princess is stuck in a tower somewhere,
and a gnome’s in a duel with a troll.”
Said the wise old steed to the anxious knight,
“Let other knights help those three.
And if you stay here and let me rest,
then you’ll be a hero to me.”
