A Tale of Knights Turning Tail

Yellow Picnic Table, Folly Beach, SC  © Doug Hickok

There was a time, long ago,
 when knights were brave and chivalrous.
 But the knights I tell a tale of were not.
 When trouble called, they were no where to be found.
 When damsels were distressed, they ran away.
 When jousting tournaments came to town,
they claimed a prior commitment.
 When lords called upon them for support in battle,
they hummed loudly and put their fingers in their ears.
 When a quest was required, they sent their squires.
 These my friends were The Knights of the Yellow Round Table.

  6. Ha... :) You're so funny!
    I have actually seen the "real" Round Table in Winchester.
    Winchester is really a beautiful town in Hampshire.
    You will love it, if you come and visit England.
    You should not miss it. :)
