A Special Treasure

The knight operated on a code of chivalry
protect the weak and aid the damsel in distress
all the spoils of victorious battle were many in number
and yet he never could comprehend
all she wanted was his sturdy lance

A coat of arms with sword and shield
polished a sight unequalled by any knight of the Round Table
picked her the vibrant flowers of the fields
still what made her heart stop beating
was the potential of the lance

After slaying beasts like the selfish dragon
hordes of treasure were at his hand
deluded into thinking he could buy affections
when all she wanted was his lance

So fellows keep on amassing all the material wealth
even pursue sound investments that arise
but don't forget that instrument she finds so precious
for that total bliss includes the vibrancy of an active lance
