The crowd had gathered
around the stone,
the one which Excalibur
had made it's home.
For no one name Arthur
was staking a claim
on the sword in the stone
wrought for the true king.
They laughed at young Arthur
when he challenged his brother.
So small, insignificant,
there must be another!
For surely as his brother failed,
then he shall surely too.
No other man has yet prevailed,
he shall make himself a fool.
But Arthur, undeterred
stepped forth.
determined to give it
all he was worth.
With all his might
and all his brawn,
and all within him
that made him strong,
he huffed and puffed
and drew a great breath
and grasped the swored
and pulled with all his strength.
Reeling back, the ground
he did struck.
The sword in his hand
no longer stuck.
For it wasn't brawn
that made one a king,
but a true heart, fair mind
and respect for the land.
And the people looked down
upon the young Arthur,
and hailed him the new king
as deigned by Excalibur.
