Trojan Horse



A quest to find the chalice & mast
 the squire had searched throughout the kingdom
 A fare maiden was in waiting in her room
 to cherish a red rose that was plucked a time before

 A dragon with fire in his nostrils beneath the dungeon
 inside he hides beside the swell
 Blackened stench of death
 a court jester dazzles with his baton

 Tiny trolls were let loose on the vast kingdom's grounds
 a fairy with crystals in there wings fly by
 Hobbits come out of there houses
 Today they will hear a message from the king

 Through the darkness of the castle there he sits alone
 The curtain drew back and then he stood
 Children of the kingdom come hobbits and all
 a Trojan horse will ride through the town

 It is my pledge for all to see and be happy
 silence came through the room and then
 The king stated again, " A beacon of hope to a hurting world".
 Then all would see the king ride the horse

 Blessed be the time for joy
 Blessed be far and low
 Strength comes from up above
 Love is the true essence of are existence

 Then everyone was in a state of joy
