Romance At Court

Sir Len he was a complex man –

Sir David knew him well;

He always with a master plan –

Designed to give them hell;

Sir Dave was goodly, fair and kind –

Had he the ear of Bess;

Loved he the Queen in heart and mind –

Life could be such a mess;

Sir Len with Kym a Knight so fair –

Was taken by the heart;

He longed to hold her – stroke her hair –

But this could never start;

The Queen she knew of David's taint –

Although she worried not;

Respect did she his great restraint –

From matters bold and hot;

With Kym Len knew he had to hide –

The feelings that he had –

Although such things stirred him inside –

And often drove him mad;

If Len but knew his thoughts were shared –

Though Kym herself was shrewd;

She did in fact like Len and cared –

But stopped 'fore things accrued;

So Len and Dave would often meet –

And talk of this and that;

But talk of love they would not greet --

Kept it under their hat;

So life continues on apace –

They stay in blissful calm;

No signs of love on either face –

To do so would cause harm;

And ladies too – for them the same –

They kept things close to chest;

So this way there could be no blame –

Should things go wrong – 'twas best.
