Just for fun, a little parody of the old 'Knight and the Maiden' theme...  The Knight and the Maiden The Knight with lust laden; Baited was the Maiden, Upon the balcony stood… So He asked if she would -- But the Maiden was chaste And so turned in a haste… Left Knight on the ladder -- He only got sadder. Now that’s no knightly pose — Surely anyone knows — Perched on a ladder top Amorous dead-end flop. What is a Knight to do? — Kill a dragon or two? — A romantic dinner? That should be a winner. A plan the Knight has found, Descend to solid ground For love preservation Call for reservation. The aroma wafts away But Maiden smells foul play -- Can you trust steel-clad dork Keep away carrier stork? He takes daring chances, Amorous advances The Maiden will not heed; To his charm will not cede. Advice to the poor bloke: Passion-fire you stoke With words gently crafted, Hands so slowly drafted. Shed the heavy metal, Bring along rose petal. Next climb the ladder rungs -- And speak in poets’ tongues. CG |

...and speak in poets tongue... While a parody? it twisted a certain melancholy around the rungs of the ladder... well done, Sir... |

Thank you. OK, perhaps more of a 'humorous twist of...' CG |
