" The boar's great tusks, they boded ill, for good King Robert's health. And the was every bit as fat, as Robert was himself. But our brave King cried, Do your worst.
I'll have your ugly head.
Nowhere near as murderous as
the lion in my bed."
King Robert lost his battle,
and he failed his final test.
The lion ripped his balls off.
And the boar did all the rest.
