BRAVE SIR CORIN
"Sir Corin was a valiant knight,
His wits were sharp, his eyes were bright,
His soul was pure and lily-white,
And shone with sweet angelic light,
He never shrank back from a fight,
Or picked a battle just for spite,
Or ran away unmanned by fright,
In cringing and pathetic flight,
Before a giant trilobite
Or creature of unearthly might
And neither did he seek to slight
A simple squire or acolyte
But always made them feel alright
And tucked them in their beds at night
He never drank 'til he got tight
Or was uncouth or impolite
Or gazed upon the infinite
And said it was a lot of shite
But rather marvelled at the sight
In phrases learned and erudite
In short he was the kind of knight
Who cleaned his armour with delight
And could be described as quite
A spiffy sort of guy," - Chris Fs
