I awoke to sounds

of battle, down the hall.

Screams of pain echoing,

I could tell you fought

brilliantly.


You, my valiant knight.

Me, your devout devotee.

You said He was a traitor,

we rallied to the call.

The babe in your arms,

we fled the castle.


The dragon gave chase,

but we were the quicker.

The treasures were ours

to reap: Lawry’s, Saltines

and cable tv.


You look uncomfortable,

in your armor. You never

asked for this honor.

You notice me and return,

steadfast, to your post.
