the knight drags his feet
while his Lady waits none too patiently
and neither believes that its solely up to thee
future promise hails defeat
and the prospect of romance suffers miserably
knowledge leads farce
or is it that farce leads knowledge
either way the roads passed the other by
while trying so hard not to pass
and the wanna be lovers are left to wonder
who did not faithfully follow through
and best of all
why?..............................
