POETRY CORNER

The winning quest from series 5 gets examined in verse now, as Ben Lowings and his friends complete an excellent display of Knightmare adventuring.

From Devon came Ben’s winning crew,

First, on Smirkenorff Ben flew,

Then Motley’s elfin prison moan,

Gave rise to need for arken stone.

From Julius the gem was bought,

Then came Elita’s rude retort.

Past the coloured causeway tiles,

Motley solved the blocker’s trials.

Then Ben became a lift descendent,

With Hordriss as the lift attendant.

In level two, past woodland glade,

Sylvester Hands a swindle played.

Ben solved the warden’s questions well,

Then Gwendoline had much to tell.

Ben and team soon got the drift,

Sir Hugh performed a fireman’s lift.

With monkish clues and magic spell,

The causeway pieces scraped and fell.

Ben soon escaped, to level’s end,

Where Skarkill proved to be no friend.

The archer’s arrows made him flee,

Then Ben went down to level three.

A frosty welcome there was shown,

As Ben was told to find a bone.

Elita gave the body part,

So Hordriss shared his magic art.

Aesandre’s taunting was not nice,

So Ben made her a block of ice.

With Roman numbers chosen right,

The Shield of Justice was in sight.

The shapely puzzle caused no shame,

And Ben and friends had won the game!
