lol I have no idea what the hell happened with the formatting but Imma just go with it :D

Two knights rode forth to joust for their royal houses


Around them, cheers and shouts sounded in the thousands


One night charged with his lance aimed to defeat


In an act of bravery for his house, no option of conceit


The other looked at the lance, and spurred on as well


Would they meet the same, only time would tell


And when they finally met, the first held his lance true and high


But the second, he lowered and sliced into the other's eye


The move was illegal, yet not one person saw 


And the bloody man who fell did not damage the other's valor


One dead and thought weak, though he was the true knight


The other respected as a hero for the rest of his life


So out of these two knights, who would you rather be?


The one who won or the one who died so valiantly?
