miniver cheevy (With apologies to Edward Arlington Robinson) Miniver Cheevy of Wecquahic high, Bemoaned and cursed his plight, All term long to seniors he'd cry— How I wish I were a knight!'' Miniver loved the knights of olde Though he had never seen one, He thought that fate had been unkind For he could never be one. Miniver sighed for the days of Arthur. Of gallant knights and damsels fair. He dreamed of Galahad on a white charger. But to final exams he gave no care. Miniver dreaded college boards, And eyed a khaki suit with loathing, He longed for the grace of flashing swords, And shields and iron clothing. Miniver knew that he ought To think about graduation. And so he began to give it thought And soon—deep meditation. And finally, decided he To forsake his medieval dream. For though a Lancelot he’d never be. Knighthood could be the Legend's theme!
