Caroline believed in being prepared: she put a scarf around each of Henri’ limbs, so that in case of an injury he just needed to give it a twist and voila! Instant tourniquet
As the knight rode away on his steed, / his fair lady love wished him “God speed.” / And her scarlet red token / was a message, unspoken, / “Be heroic… if you wish to breed.”
His wife’s scarf was, it seems, a distraction, / so Sir Knight wouldn’t sense her attraction / to the guard. She was clever, / shouting, “Now, pull the lever!” / Thus, her husband’s portcullis impaction.
Vowing to avenge his parents’ deaths and to battle villainy, he donned his cape and left stately Gawain manor with its carved statue of “Ace, the Bat-Hound.”
“Sir Bedivere, I’m loath to tell you, but we all know you’re balding, so you don’t have to wear that heavy headgear. But take this scarf; perhaps you can make a fashionable kerchief out of it? Or a wimple, dear?”
By the bitch he was often betrayed./ In his absence, she always got laid./ She would never have strayed/ but he chose to crusade/ and that was the price that he paid.
He rode off in deep disgrace / with his visor disguising his face / for his ribbon was red./ That’s the one all men dread/ – for red signifies second place.
“I’m off to belabor the Turk!” said he with a leer and a smirk/ “for the Pope has decreed / That those buggers must bleed/ so I know I’ll be doing God’s work!”

Guinevere’s attempt to warn Lancelot that Arthur suspected they were lovers was doomed to failure. She spoke no French and he spoke no Welsh.
