The Poet
by Geoffrey de
Barde
A poet of the royal court
A fancy Bard wast he
His tailor wast the best in town
For the Kings poet he be
The King liketh poetry flowing
He liketh it of the pun
If it contained a chuckle
He calleth it lots of fun
He also liketh them bawdy
A poem from the crude
He liketh to hear of wenches
Who wereth often rude
Mostly he loved stories
Of the battle field
Whence thy King was victor
Whence thy enemies yield
So the Poet was wealthy
He dined in fancy style
He kept with Lords and Ladies
He had plenty to make him smile
One day he wrote a poem
About the princess and his lust
The king was very angry
And ground the poet to dust
The moral of the story
Is writeth poems to the roof
But whenst it comes to lusting
Never tell the truth
