The knights and their chivalry
Were picked for their quality
To fight the troll under the tree
Of Wonders and Adventure
They got set for their journey
And the knights met with the attorney
Who showed a sketch of their tourney
And into the woods they did venture
The woods were bejeweled by the sun’s rays
And the air was thick with a blurry haze
They found the troll after many delays
And to that began the adventure
The knights fought the troll with sword and shield
And with them the troll’s fate was sealed
The knights fought the troll until, dead, it kneeled
And so finished the adventure
They cleaned their gashes
And burned the troll to ashes
With flames and great flashes
Then to home they venture
Later fabliaux were widespread
Of where the knights had tread
And the troll that they had laid dead
The knights had their adventure
(A fabliaux is a medieval poem)
