A boy there was, of darkened hair

Who walked the world when it was yet fair.

He looked around for adventure

And far and wide he did venture

To look for the forgotten realms

Where warriors yet wore swords, shields, and helms.

But alas, he never found them

Only in books, for fantasies were condemned

In this modern world in which he lived.

But he resisted

And remembered the stories

Told society where to stick its mad ideas

And lived the rest of his life believing

In fairy tales, in swords and valor

In courage and honor

And bravery.

Needless to say, he was a better person for it,

So what is the moral of today's story?

Besides the fact that society is a b*tch,

Always believe in things that old stories teach

Because they are right and true

(That and society might think twice about messing with you.)
