Sir Lancelot was in a spot
he’d told Queen Guinevere,
their tryst was through,
he must pursue,
his chivalric career.

Guinevere went white with rage,
(she even whacked a passing Page)
and said that she would tell the King,
about their Lancelicit fling.

“But there are dragons to be slain,
if I’m my knighthood to retain.
So, while I’m doing courtly stuff
(and surely once a knight’s enough?)
why not try Sir Galahad –
the ladies say he’s quite a lad?”
