Example
Teacher
A teacher of English from Wales there came,
On a grey horse so tall, Will was his name.
Witty and bright were his jokes he told,
Causing much laughter, among young and old.
He loved to fish and drank lots of mead,
Food was shared to all people in need.
Walking the trail like a stealthy cat,
he listened to all who needed to chat.
A good friend that I trusted more than most
he cared for all and was loved as our host.
