Whatever happened
to all of the Knights of Old?
They who were more than
just both brave and bold
The ones who were ever
so very kindly and good
Whose loving compassion,
folk really understood.
Great men of high virtue,
yes men of true grit,
Who would never be contented
upon their laurels to sit?
Greedily hoarding their gold,
stocking full their ripe stores
Wallowing like pigs in the shit,
as it grows ever more.
A brand new Arthur
is what we all need!
A man with 21st Century
understanding indeed.
Who comes from the people
and who speaks for the folk.
Whose great power and authority
only God can revoke.
A man of high ideal
that really truly believes,
That the power of justice
can just never deceive.
Noble of heart defending
all who are downtrodden.
Wreaking vengeance upon all
whose gains are ill gotten.
Yes what ever happened to all
of these Knights of old?
They who were much more
than just both brave and bold.
They are all pensioners now,
old tired stiff and sore.
These great men who fought
the war supposed to end all wars.
What entitlement did they win
now that they’ve grown older?
When the care home semolina
grows much more than just colder!
