by Arthur D. Bardswell

In days of old when knights were cold
And armor was fur-lined,
Some wore this armor inside out.
(They weren�t the human kind.)

In Catalot, a hero rose;
King Arfur was his name.
And to his Great Round Feeding Bowl
Came fuzzy knights of fame.

Where champions failed and lords could not,
This kitten stood alone.
And single-pawed extracted he
The Great Claw from the Bone.

To serve the great King Arfur was
The dream of ev�ry Tom.
For Knights of Good Saint Felix were
The Cream of Pussen-dom.

From top of roof and under house
From bed and fav�rite spot,
Forsaking tree and scratching post,
They came to Catalot!

His glorious vision he proclaimed:
To make all cat-fights cease;
That cats should dwell in harmony,
Their litters raised in peace.

He held his court � the Great Mat near
The Royal Pussy-Door;
Enthroned upon the Rocking Chair.
(The man sat on the floor.)

The call was heard in far Fur-rance
By Prancelot du Lic.
When claws were crossed and teeth were bared,
He never missed a trick.

But noblest was Sir Purr-ceval
At whose name foes would howl.
And none could turn his purpose stern:
To seek the Holy Growl.

Owned by seven, I, too, found this abundantly fun.

Hiya, David. You are right - our styles ARE very similar. You clearly have a grasp on how to blend rhyme, rhythm, and content into a wonderfully entertaining poem. Of course, I'm biased - not only do I love a good story poem, I have eight cats sprawled around here somewhere. I see you also caught the eye of Deb Porter with your work; congratulations!

Wow! What an awesome poem. As one owned by a couple cats, I enjoyed all the purr-fect language. Super fun to read.

BRAVO David! This is wonderful. I was browsing around looking for content for FaithWriters' Magazine and stumbled on this. You are such a good writer (I can't wait to get stuck into your manuscript). David, would you allow us to use "Of Cats and Kings" in FaithWriters' Magazine? (www.faithwritersmagazine.com) This poem is such a treat of a read. If you would be willing, could you send me a quick email (via Finesse is fine) with a brief bio note to go with it? It deserves more exposure. Love, Deb (Editor, FaithWriters' Magazine and Challenge Coordinator)
