Inspired by
mucking out horses day after day I made up poems

A fair young thing I sat alone
Secluded in my tower
Secure and safe that precious thing
my maidenhood's sweet flower

A gift for him that special knight
a-glinting in his splendor
And when he comes I'll know for sure
his love will be so tender

And alms so strong and will of steel
and handsome just and caring
To wait for him you must agree
this lonleyness worth bearing

Then one day right to my door
there came a comley face
The light of love glowed all around
and set my heart apace

He gazed into my eyes and smiled
Oh. My. he was a charmer
he swept me off my feet that day
But now I shine his Armour.
