" For The Damsel In Distress "

Like a tiger in the rain
You can't explain
Why the day becomes
A Knight
And the tracks in the snow
Shows where you go
When you try to climb
Into disdain.....

Like the distance to death
You can't impress
Upon the cultural
And the lavender
Limitless
Valor
Of grievous
Intent
Remaining nobly
Lugubrious....

Two points for a blow
To the chest
The jousting a manner
Of glaring
Unrest
When your nobility
Is put to the test
And the life
Of a damsel in distress
Is on
The line......
