A Peasant's Plea

Hello my liege.
Of your court, I have deceived.
I was caught stealing your precious gold.
But, I have no shame for I am quite bold.
I take good care of your horses. I brush their manes.
At dinner, I serve you many courses. None are ever the same.
All this is true. I do not lie.
I beg of you to not let me die.

      Thanks. I honestly felt I was writing about the knighthood game on facebook when I wrote this. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. Thanks for the nice comment.

      Aw, thank you.

      I remember entering this contest. Paul is one of my best friends and he has helped me in more ways than one while helping with allpoetry projects and I wanted to enter the contest to kind of give back, but also participate, as well.

      Thanks for reading and commenting.

      Ha, if this made you chuckle, you should check out the comments below for mine and Paul's rhyming scheme. This one was a lot of fun to write.

      I hadn't thought of Monty Python when I first wrote this, but I can see where you can get it from. The humor in this is rather bizarre, eh?

      Thanks for reading and the wonderful comments.

    Ooh I like this. I can sense the despair in it. It's almost kind of dark in a way, too. The last line fits perfectly. Keep up the great work!

      Thanks so much. Didn't think of it as dark, but that's what I like about sharing poetry. People can see the same poem differently regardless of what the author wants to say. It was meant to be more humorous, but glad you enjoyed it.

    I hide my gold, in just one place,
    It's hidden and without a trace.
    I pity you, you mindless rut,
    You reached up in my donkey's butt!

      Why, I would never. Not the donkey's ass.
      For I am one fine lass.
      The smell would never go away.
      I hid the gold in Montego bay.


      May not make much sense, but hey it rhymes.

        You commit a crime,
        But at least you rhyme,
        Like a big juicy lime,
        That is resting on a dime,
        That was eaten by a mime,
        Whom was at his fitness prime,
        And whom likes to tell the time,
        But doesn't like mop grime,
        But has a smile like a chime,
        And a grin that is like slime.

        You may live...
