Alas, that I might
join in with this fight.
But to say "yes I'll bite";
it just would not be right.
For we joust, mon ami,
most dangerously.
And I won't pay the fee
that this requires of me.
I hope to restrain
this horrid refrain,
to my ear it's a bane
and they'll all soon complain.
I won't shift the blame;
I picked up the game.
But for ears we did maim,
foul Ashton's the name!
