Chivalry Went for Pizza

Cerian Cantwr

chorus:
And the chivalry went for pizza,
They would not be denied.
Yes, the chivalry went for pizza,
With those pies they'd be supplied.
The chivalry went for pizza,
And they did cause quite a fuss,
But the chivalry got the pizza,
And they brought it back to us.

verses:
It was Sunday after Pennsic
The war was at an end.
For the mundane world again.
We thought to order pizza,
And thus we sealed our fate.
For the pizza man, he told us,
We would have two hours' wait.

Two hours came and went,
But no pizza did appear.
That's when we got to wondering
Just what did go on here.
A phone call to the restaurant
Assured us all was well,
But 'twould be another half hour
Ere the pizza we would smell.

The time it did pass slowly,
Irritation, it did grow.
Our stomachs fell to grumbling,
For our dinner did not show.
When the time had all expired,
Our thoughts, they did grow ill.
Especially when we heard
Another thirty minutes still.

The time dragged on and on and on
And still no pizza showed.
I tell to you most heartily,
We were getting quite POed.
A last call to the restaurant
Said, pizza on your plate?
Take it easy, there's no problem,
Just another hour's wait.

Well folks, that finally did it,
The knights stood up to a man.
They decided to go into town
Their weapons well in hand.
The pizza shop they'd ransack,
And the blood would freely flow.
Well they retrieved our dinner,
But just how, I do not know.

Now gentles listen closely,
And I shall tell you right.
If Pennsic Sunday you want pizza,
You will have a hungry knight.
The war, it may be over,
But you should not forget,
If you go and order pizza,
You'll have one more battle yet.
