The Stupid Knight

by Sim Jinwei

I sat down, beneath this big oak tree, and started to write..

There was, this princess, once upon a time.
Her beauty was unrivalled, nobody could mime.
In the castle, she lived, very much alone,
Nobody to talk to, not even a phone.

Knowing her plight, a knight set out,
Inside his heart, he knew without a doubt,
Loving her was, after all his ultimate destiny.
It seemed surreal, but he vowed to make it reality.

Key to your heart, reaching the castle he proclaimed,
Everything you've ever wanted, nothing will be the same!
Yet despite all his efforts, it all seemed grey,
Only to hear, his voices the walls would ricochet.

Underneath that big oak tree, I laughed at the stupid knight.
