donall-dempsey

JULY IV MDCCLXXVI

the competitors 
shall be mounted on something high 
and that something 
stands on four speeding legs of ply 

this particular sport 
is presently staging a revival 
as there are enthusiasts  
who want to see its survival 

the outfits the rivals 
wear are really heavy of weight 
they must feel like 
they're carrying a large freight 

let us now hark back 
to those days of yore 
when the knights would 
make a galore score 

if you guess the 
name of the sport 
Sir Lancelot will be 
your tournament escort
