The Truth of Knights and Mages

The Truth of Knights and Mages

 

The truth of knights and mages,

shall stand throughout the ages,

Six things they will demand,

if denied they make no stand.

 

The first demand is somewhat simple,

no need to muss your wimple,

serve them fish and roast and fowl,

tofu simply makes them growl.

 

To the second use common sense,

lest you cause them some offense,

offer heady ale for all the toasts,

then sit back and watch them boast.

 

The third is somewhat harder,

for there's no wench in your larder.

Find one that is full-busted, easy and rosy,

then step back and let them get cozy.

 

Number four takes little work,

yet heed it or be thought a jerk,

show deep respect to Mage and Knight,

or arm yourself for quite a fight.

 

Next is five, I hope your listening,

make sure their room is clean to glistening,

with grand appointments and lots of room,

offer them no shabby spot or contemplate your doom.

 

To number six we come anon,

get this one right or he'll be gone,

of geld I speak last, but not least,

pay til it hurts or unleash the beast.
