Sir Rhymes-a-Lot, he met a lady
her name was Guin-a-Fear
they lived, them both, in a royal place
called the Court of Author-dear

in a time of jousts and javelins
and moats and dragons, too
of magic rocks and special swords
on tables round with sacred clues

there were good and bad, and only them
bright colors simply then were spun
no mediocre, nor were grays then found
only wars to be fought, only vict'ries to be won

Sir Rhymes-a-Lot wanted badly, so desparately indeed
to shoot the apple off one's head
for this to Author, he did plead
'no' was the answer...'twas what Author said

Guin-a-Fear was frightened by idea of it all
she thought she'd be the target to be eventually shot
besides, she knew, deep down inside
Sir Rhymes-a-Lot was wanting in the wrong fable's plot
