Medievally Challenged--Doc’s Medieval W/O
Jun 06 '03
The Bottom Line Rule # 1. Never write about a subject you do not understand.
Woops. I've done it again.
Wednesday knight I pondered
As I thought of Days of Yore.
Was it Arthur who was King then,
Or instead was it Al Gore?
By dawn my butt was dragon
And I said out loud, “Forsooth.!
Perhaps ‘twas Ike or JFK
Or maybe John Wilkes Booth.”
I drank a pot of coffee
And by noon I’d gotten giddy.
Was it Jacques Chirac or Mao?
No! It must be Gordon Liddy.
See, I don’t know Lords from Ladies;
Don’t know vassals from the serfs.
For all I know, the folks back then
Were happy bluish Smurfs.
By five o’clock ‘twas Happy Hour.
I hadn’t gotten far,
So I turned off my computer
And I headed to the bar.
The mead was good; my mood improved.
I had another tankard.
I couldn’t do more writing ‘cause
By then my ass was anchored.
The wench, she brought another
Then another one anon.
I crawled home drunk at eight o’clock
With all ambition gone.
I’m sorry Doc. I tried real hard
To undertake your mission.
But my head would not be hurtin’
If instead I’d just gone fishin.’
