Fred Writes Yet Another Poem

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 21711

Fred reads his poem to some of his knight buddies.

'Fred's Poem.
'I like to chop things with my sword.
Puncturing heads sounds...
Like stabbing a gourd.
The end.'

Jason, one of his friends, speaks up. "Hey Fred, that's a really good poem. I mean, it could use a little work, but it's inspirational. Maybe I could edit it, and we could show it to King Emry."

Fred says, "Okay."

Jason edits the poem so it sounds like this:

'We like stabbing things with our swords.
Punctured heads sound like empty gourds.'

Fred says, "Gee, Jason, you're really good at this."

Jason says, "Your creative genius inspires me."

So they take Jason's revision to King Emry, who absolutely loves it and decrees that it be the motto of the army. "However," he adds, "that doesn't seem to be very apt for the archers, does it?"

Fred replies, "Well, your highness, I'll see what I can do."

Later that day, Fred comes up with this poem:

'Fred's Poem, for Archers.
I like shooting things with my bow.
I pull the string...
And watch the arrow go.'

Now what will Fred do?

  1. Show the new poem to Jason
  2. Show the new poem to King Emry
  3. Learn music and become a wandering bard
