A Knight's Day lost Edit 1.0 Hes.

[tectak]

Tom,

Tis a a tall pencil to climb, only to find no one has sharpened it! Or as "St.Crispin's day" is oft repeated, maybe I should say a tall arrow to climb and find it has no head (a terrible thing to happen with a full bladder).

It is of course none of my business, as I am not of the UK and often don't understand your odd ways, but it seems to me that in S3 L6 "sire" should be "Sir" although it might be said that one hand washes the other as well as it is washed, still we have ascertained the topic of the poem is in fact a knight, yet we have not heard of any procreating by said knight to earn the appellation of "sire", although one could assume that such was the case with said knight, I presume not to assume.
Sire: archaic A respectful form of address for someone of high social status, especially a king.i
...but not exclusively
Oh yes, could you please send me a copy of the dictionary where the word "ment'sht" is defined, digital will do, I've no need to break my back carrying the thing around. Good innit? A piss-take of the language. Which thou mentioned....contraction? ment'sht....theatrical licence.

As this is in the "poetry for fun" section, I thought to forgo any critique of form, and only leave a few witticisms, but as my brain feels as dull as the aforementioned pencil, I fear I must deny you that simple pleasure.

I have to say I wrote this for me...great fun! It is based on an old english old-english joke. There are, in fact, two more verses but I saved you from them
Best,
