Medievally Challenged--Doc’s Medieval W/OJun 06 '03 Write an essay on this topic.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.’  |
