THE LADY OF SITALOT PART 1

(with apologies to Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

"My current life resembles that

Of the Lady of Shalott;

Living in an ivory tower,

Looking out of the window a lot.

But I've ne'er yet seen Sir Lancelot,

Nor heard his siren song

Of “Tirra, lirra by the river”.

What's taking him so long??

Mayhap my shining-armoured knight

Be not Sir Lancelot?

But one already in my sight -

The good, the brave - Sir Care-alot….?

'Tis troubling, but a trifle,

Which is that he doth clank a lot.

But gladly do I hear that sound,

And, for it, do I thank a lot!"

Ffion
