| I've been contemplating a thrilling book I wish to write | |
| I may spend over a year finishing it. | |
| It will be about how Arthur became the brave new king of England | |
| He may not have been the strongest or kingliest ruler England ever had... | |
| ...but he was smart in the way he brought his subjects together. | |
| Brigands would roam the land and rob innocent peasants. | |
| Arthur started helping rouse the knights of the realm to take arms against them. | |
| They met at the Round Table, the most richly decorated dining room ever. | |
| If they got rowdy, Arthur would send them off in challenges to one another. | |
| At the joust, they would spar, rotating between knights. | |
| They would grasp arrows and lances and fight on horseback... | |
| ...or attack on foot in their armor with awkward steps. | |
| He sent them off once to find the mysterious Holy Grail. | |
| He told them it would be a gleaming, golden cup. | |
| Sir Galahad found it surrounded by a flaming orange halo. | |

| I would also tell of Arthur's knighting a legendary warrior, Lancelot... | |
| ...and how Lancelot won the heart of Arthur's queen, Guinevere. | |
| Lancelot started to open Guinevere's eyes to beauty and passion... | |
| ...until he became her one and only desire. | |
| Their illicit romance was truly heart-wrenching... | |
| ...but it is hardly possible to keep lovers such as they apart | |
| They met at night with stealth, rushing into each other's arms. | |
| When Arthur found them, their betrayal cut him deeply. | |
| Both Lancelot and Guinevere were filled with regret... | |
| ...and their union only brought them bitterness for the rest of their days. | |
| Arthur's nephew, Mordred, and his cronies wanted to overthrow his uncle. | |
| Fate let Mordred win glory on the battlefield and defeat the king. | |
| Thus ended the much heralded reign of King Arthur, who, they say... | |
| ...will return one day and start a second Order of noble Knights. | |
