"Dragonslayer"

Duty calls, the Poet rides
Astride ethereal steed.
Beauty bound in castle bides,
Denied her noble needs.
Impossible tasks are all she asks,
For fair maid to be freed.

For Beauty would I blithely bind
The Autumn to the Spring,
A dewdrop in the ocean find,
And teach the stones to sing.
Impossible tasks are all she asks
For white doves to take wing.

A thousand nights, a thousand tales,
Five hundred dragons slain,
Flax turned to gold, behold - the Grail!
Foes' heads, a daisy chain.
Impossible tasks are all she asks
For love not be in vain.

The Quest goes on from dusk to dawn,
The fair maid finally freed.
By sword and shield, by brains and brawn,
To battle, blast and bleed.
Impossible tasks are all she asked,
A Poet's courtly creed.
