once upon a time back in the days of yore
there lived a fair maiden stold my heart forever more
pity to my soul whos love she knowth not
for with a shyness I was plagued and with my courage fought
so to myself I thought how do I cure this shyness
and while I thought a jug I bought to cure my throat from dryness
I drank the jug of spirits down unto the bottom
and stumbled to her window on a chilly night in autumn
hear ye I shouted, hear me now or never
come unto your window that I may pledge my love forever
she came to her window this she surely did
she threw down a flower pot and hit me in the head
be gone drunk she said, let the night be still
stop all of your howling and leave my window sill
I said you got it wrong love though I am drunk its true
I came not to disturb thee but to pledge my love for you
then she went to smiling I'm sorry bout that pot
is your head alright dear for I fear that it is not
I'm alright I shouted , for your love I'll take a pot
I came to you drunk because I with my courage fought
fool she said or jester who at my window dances
come back on the morrow and you shall have your chances
and so I slept it off and in the morning came
to win my maidens heart and I love her to this day

| Yep, tack me onto the end of these seven, doug. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, rhyme and humour you employed to make this work. Good job. |

| Poet realized he was not going to find true happiness with false courage. Once he presented his true self he found real love. |
