Analysis of Medieval Times
In medieval times much was like today.
There were horrific crimes
and cause for dismay.
In medieval charms much was like a spell.
There were fanatic harms
and cause for farewell.
In medieval lares much was like a storm.
There were tornadic spars
and cause for reform.
In medieval minds much was like a cure.
There were pragmatic finds
and cause for allure.
In medieval toils much was like a trudge.
There were terrific spoils
and cause for a grudge.
In medieval feuds much was like a band.
There were specific moods
and cause for demand.
In medieval boons much was like tonight.
There were romantic swoons
and cause for delight.
