To Become A Knight
“Once upon atime, there lived a seventeen year old
peasant boy
who was obsessed to become a Knight.”

“This is his story.”

This young boy of 17 went and boarded a whaling ship.
The Columbia that was her name.
To England he would go,
the land of Kings and Queens.
For one day this boy, young in years, would become a Knight and serve his majesty.
So he worked and toiled to become a man.
Sailing around the world-
He did fight the roaring seas, whales and humanity.
When finally he decides to touch the land .
He then becomes a military man.
As the years roll by, this young peasant boy,
a highly honored soldier of the military.
He has fought for his King with
bravery and steadfast loyalty.
He stands before the King,
his head bowed in humble humility.
The King with sword in hand, touching each shoulder
of this once young peasant boy.
“You are my most honored Knight”
Come sit with us my new young friend.
You are one of us
A
“Knight of The Round Table.”

Love Bon-Bon
