Sir Trevor of Tring

There was one incredibly curious thing
You`d notice if you met Sir Trevor of Tring

His chain mail vest , was actually string

And did not fit

Minstrels composed songs to sing
Because of it



Tis said, he owned a solitary coat
Made from rabbit , weasel and stoat
His tumbledown castle boasted a moat

Just one foot deep

Apparently, the builder`s quote
Was suitably cheap



His sword and shield were made of wood
And subsequently, not much good
Atop the mantlepiece they stood

On proud display

Well, Trevor hated the sight of blood
Anyway



Should a Damsell cry out in distress
Embroiled in some domestic mess
Trevor set out to impress her with his skill

Then made a note of the address
And sent a bill!
