POETRY CORNER

Claire and friends – the second team of series 2 – were the first ever all-girl team on Knightmare. What kind of a standard did they set? It’s time for you to judge for yourselves.

From Ludlow town there came four maids,

To face the Dungeon’s cruel tirades.

With Claire, their leader, on her way,

The wheel was stopped without delay.

The choice of four doors was no snag,

The knight’s the one, it’s in the bag!

A monster next. What could it be?

With Igneous the score was three.

To Lillith’s realm, with pearls in hand,

Before too long the pit was spanned.

The Troll succumbed to LITTLE spell,

Then Gumboil stepped clear of the well.

In level two a challenge waited,

Cedric’s wrath never abated.

The score was one, the game was lost,

For death would surely be the cost.

Though Ariadne lost the fight,

A wraith awaited, ghostly white.

Without a hope, without defence,

The wraith soon caused lasting silence.
