Behold the mighty Banner Knight, killing on the field! <br />Hacking all his foes to bits, commanding them to yield. <br />See his gallant mastery of sword and spear and shield. <br />Watch his foes fall, one by one, behold their fates are sealed! <br />He comes to kill and kill and kill, he comes to win the day. <br />He means to win fair maiden's hand, to do this, come what may. <br />He fights like mighty juggernaut, his muscles, iron taut. <br />His motto, only God do fear, all others he dreads not. <br />The princess is the prize he seeks, fairest beauty of the land. <br />To win her he will kill and kill, just to win her hand. <br />But to do this he must defeat the champions of many lands. <br />There's Ogier and Oliver and Cyranno De Grande. <br />There's Roland, Arthur and Sir Bors, There's Sigfried and Sir Gawain. <br />There's Frederich and Ganelon and Havelock the Dane. <br />There was Parsival and Heinrich and William the Vain. <br />Fell Charles Martel and Lancelot and even Charlemaigne, <br />One by one he killed them all, one by one he watched them fall. <br />Every hero, every knight, the spectators he did enthrall. <br />And when the tournament was through, and when the killing done, <br />alone he stood upon the field, out in the blazing sun. <br />The Banner Knight had won the day, the prize, the Princess, royal. <br />Forever they to be as one, no love would be more loyal. <br />And o'er the years when challenge came, and brave men came to battle, <br />The Banner Knight would ride afield and slaughter them like cattle. <br />The Banner Knight for his true love, would give up limb and life, <br />He'd hack and kill and sacrifice, all his blood for his good wife.<br /><br />Bob and Alex Eichen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-banner-knight-vi-to-win-true-love/
