Le Mort D'Art, or How Green Was My Bowdler

You know what I always thought was funny
about Launcelot? He could kill
any number of dudes. He was the biggest piece
of puissance the age of chivalry produced -
he was even set to get the Grail!

Before
they re-wrote
his part
so mister simon-pure
Kid Galahad the Wonder
Virgin could get his grubbing
little fingers into the brass ring - "our hero,"
finally! Someone we can present to the kids!
Not like Launcelot, so deep
in Arthur's wife's pussy
all the time,
most trusted
of the King's Knights.
