Days of Olde

In lands far away
Men championed causes
And served their lords
Pledged their hearts to ladies
These noble men, these knights

Mounted on fine steeds
Suited in chainmail and armor
Weapons of iron,a sword and mace
Bearing a sovereign's standard
Family colors and crest
And a talisman from a lady

The days are now past
Chivalry, honor no longer abound
Armor has tarnished
Ladies no longer wait
Where are the heroes?
Your mounts await you
