           Words - some cursing

I was browsing through KMM, when I found this prompt.
Arthur/Gwen/Merlin/Morgana, art in the style of the fouteenth century kings/saints (for example, here - http://www.superstock.com/stock-photos-images/475-2451 - is a fourteenth century drawing of King Arthur hunting)
Ding!  Got some inspiration, and away I went.
Unfortunately for me, I was stuck trying to figure out what to put in the area where words are supposed to go.  Since every illuminated manuscript I've seen has some words, and more importantly imagery paired with the words.  One thing lead to another, and I found myself rhyming while walking dogs and I started writing them down while on the 4 train heading to The Met.  Even though I'm not a writer I had good fun with this and I made the artwork around the story.      

Finally, I want to say how much of a collaboration this really was.
I wouldn't have finished if it wasn't for the beta and metering talents of altocelloamphigoury for being a test consumer and adding her thoughts as a reader.  And the amazing gwyntastic, who is seriously skilled in fitting text in an undersized frame and is the best cheerleader I could ask for.
